Ran 2 miles on the TM at 5.0 (12:00, that's right, 12 minute miles!).  Did .5 mile warm-up and 1 mile cool-down for total of 3.5

At the end felt a tiny ache in my ankle.  Ugh, why can't i just be 100% and do whatever I want?  I'll try again on Tuesday and see how it is.  Bone scan sometime this week.

Ran 2.5 miles on the TM, 3.5 miles total (.5 mile warm-up and .5 mile cool-down). Felt better, I think. Less achiness about the ankle, and felt okay running.  What's sad is in just the week off I can already see my aerobic fitness is much worse!  I'll try for 3 on Thursday and see how it feels.

KenpoX.  Poor Cooper, he thinks anytime I'm moving around I'm trying to play with him, and today he took an uppercut right to the snout!  I felt sooo terrible.  He seemed to be fine, but I seriously connected with it like I was trying to punch him in the face.  Poor little guy.  

In other news, my arms have been so sore the last 2 days that the push-up challenge is out of the question.  So maybe I'm a little behind on that!

Walked a mile, ran 3, then walked another .5, on the TM.  

Found out my bone scan is going to cost $300 freaking dollars tomorrow, ugh.  If I can't afford health care WITH health insurance how can people even begin to afford health care without insurance?  So I'm trying to get out of it, but since it was past 5 when I found out this and a bunch of other problems ensued I'm not sure I can without paying a penalty. So I don't know what to do.  Just seems like a waste of money with my ankle feeling better.  I HATE HEALTH CARE COSTS!

Ran 3.25 miles with Cooper outside.  Ended up going to get the bone scan/xray yesterday despite the humongous cost, ugh.  We'll see what the dr says next week.  I have a feeling I'm in for some rest though, I better go get a gym membership and become best friends with an elliptical and the pool.  blah!
