In Search of My Body vol. 10 - taking it one paper towel at at time

[3DisneyKids]

Gorgeous here today! 50* and sunny and perfect. 8 miles slow and easy. 12 min pace. Knee felt great...until I stopped. Now it hurts. More when not on my phone.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Nancy! The director! OMG, awful. So glad that my alter ego helped you out with him!

So, the knee. It freaking HURTS. I've been icing it since this afternoon. I am trying to self-diagnose (I've had surgery on this knee 5 times, so I am pretty knowledgeable about what the different aches and pains are...) but I cannot figure this one out. If it was my other knee, that had never been operated on, I would guess that it was a torn miniscus. But I've already had a minisectomy on this knee...I have no cart. left. So I will have to wait for my appointment. It's next week, but I am going to call in the morning to see if they can get me in sooner. *sigh* Well, at least it was a gorgeous 8 miles today! Tomorrow is supposed to be just as nice, so at least I can get out on my bike...great workout, I get to be outside, and no pounding on the knee.

That's right, Nancy and Paula! Get your grease out...it's bike season!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

oooh. Knee pain. Not a happy place to be. I hope the ortho can get you in sooner.

Weather was nice today here too! Tomorrow it's supposed to be close to 60*! Biking weather indeed! However, this winter has been horrid on the roads. Just awful. Potholes galore! It's going to be a bikers nightmare!

And in drama news...Tonight the director asked me what my favorite restaurant was. He says he thinks he owes me something for all the changes he's made.

that's a start!

E, I'm sorry about your knee.

I won't let myself check back in until I RUN this morning. Not even entertaining the idea of not doing it, I'll just bring something to blow my nose. I must get back on the wagon! Good news is, I finally got on the scale and haven't gained weight the last 2 weeks, but I feel like I have...feel flabbier, like my muscles aren't as toned b/c I haven't been running or working out. Here I go!...

 

[3DisneyKids]

Morning! Karen...good for you for getting back out there and for not gaining! that is a victory by itself!

I am so on the wagon. It feels good! Like I freaking OWN the mother-effing wagon!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Have a good run Karen

 

[3DisneyKids]

Nancy! Love that the director is beginning to realize your awesomeness and his asshatness.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Ooooh. Nancy beat me to the top by a few mere seconds! I was just posting on the previous page! I feel a throw down coming on....

[Twoboysnmygirl]

WOOT! I'm owning that wagon too today!

Did 2.75 miles, which isn't much less than what I was running before, but I took it slower, so I lost speed being down for 16 days. I did intervals, didn't time them but just walked when I needed to. Hacked and coughed quite a bit, but not enough to make me want to stop!

That easily could have been me writing that. I think I made it to the gym twice last week. Chinese food and wine last night.

You are right Jo - the end *is* in sight for me. I still have lots to do, but the list is shrinking and while it's insanely busy I do not feel overwhelmed. I keep repeating "I'm an endurance athlete" over and over Heck. Whatever works, right?

Ronda and Kat - happy running this weekend! And Ronda, Have a SUPER trip

E - you must inform us of this goddess vs pitbull?

Meg - hope you are having a great time in Florida too!

Paula - enjoy the weekend. You deserve it

Lisa and Kelly - wherefore art thou?

Karen - how do you feel today after yesterdays run? Breathing ok?

 

[poppinspal]

Hey ladies! This has been a crazy trip. Spent two days in the Keys and snorkeled Key West while we were there. (when I get home I'll explain why this is a huge moment for me.) Yesterday we went out on a "jungle cruise" where we saw manatee, gators and over 14 dolphins including two mating! Right now we're headed cross the state to see Kenny Chesney open his summer tour in Tampa.

Ronda- the weather is great down here! Lots of sun but not too hot to enjoy.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Meg, sounds like a GREAT vacation! Enjoy!

Nancy, I'm about the same, hacking and having some issues with coughing at night, but if I'm the same, that means I'm good to run! That's my rationalization anyway. If it doesn't make the cough worse, I'm good!

Crazybusy weekend here, hope you all have a good one!
