I'm back!

I have been keeping up with my running. Last night was supposed to be my final night of W2 but I could barely run at the halfway point. I have no idea what happened to me. I want to enjoy this. I want to look forward to running. I want this "transition" period to be over! Last night my calves hurt so badly that I wanted to cry. And on top of that I think my shoes were tied too tight because they started getting all tingly. Why won't my body cooperate?

I was planning on starting Week 3 tonight; however I feel like I need to re-do week 2. Yea, yea I know I shouldn't be doing two nights in a row but my daughter has a doctor's appointment tomorrow with a specialist in DC and I have a strong feeling that she will be admitted to the hospital for atleast a day or two. I hope not but I'm preparing. We're even going to pack a bag tonight just in case. Wish us luck! I know she is scared. I am too but I'm the Mom and I'm supposed to be the strong one!

On the bright side - It is the O's opening day! I hope we get to the game on Sunday but it will all depend on how my daughter is doing and how much of my Economics paper I have complete. I hate Econ! Know what I hate more than that? College Algebra! I'm so glad I'm not taking both of them in the same semester.

Oh, thought of something else we need to do this weekend! We leave for Europe in less than 2 months so we need to finalize our touring schedule. I'm really looking forward to this vacation, especially now because I will be in better shape.

Hopefully I will have a pain-free run tonight and an admittance-free doctor's appointment tomorrow.

One more thing - My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of the victims in the Montcoal mining explosion. As the daughter, grand-daughter and neice of former coal miners my heart goes out to them today.

  2. Thank you Brian! A fellow Mountaineer, huh? What a heartbreaker Saturday night. Duke was unstoppable.

    My boyfriend doens't like Disney so I kinda had to bribe him into going. lol If I don't do this 1/2 marathon I don't get Disney. Talk about motivation! Disney is my happy place!

    Good luck on your journey. Looking foward to following your blog and progress.
