Still going....

Boy do I have some catching up to do!!  Let's see, where to start?
I am currently on Week 7 of my training...it actually feels like it's been longer then that.  Last week was supposed to be a 12 mile long run but we ran into a couple of snags and it did not happen.  In looking back at this, I am thinking it was a good thing.  It gave my ankles and feet a chance to rest before getting back into it.  So this week's long run will be 12 miles.  I am still having some pain in my foot but am still hopeful to get rid of this problem.  Still lots of stretching, icing, and rolling. 
I think another reason why it was a good thing we missed our long run is because I need to remember that it's ok to miss a run every now and then.  I get it stuck in my head that I have to do every single run and that it would be horrible to miss any.
So another thing that has happened it is I bought a new bikini!  I tell you I walked around and around the store with that bikini in my hand and had to force myself to get to the check out.  It was a pretty big step for me.  Hey, I work out very hard and pretty religiously so why shouldn't I show off my bod a bit?!  I will spare you all the strange selfie....I have some work to do on some tan lines.
Now to resist the cheesecake that is sitting in my fridge...wish me luck!

Ain't Nobody Got Time for That!!!

This post is coming to you direct from my living room couch.  Here I sit icing my foot...I'm injured :(!!!!!!

It started with a dull ache in my heels...felt like my ankles were weak or tired.  Did I pay attention to this?  No, of course not!!!  Now both heels hurt and I have a pain down one side of my foot.  This is not good timing with a 10 mile run coming on Saturday!!  At the same time, my running/training partner is having trouble with her IT band again!  What a pair we make.  And of course as Moms it is pretty hard to make time to just sit and ice...but we have to make that time and get it done so we can get back on the road! So it's ice and ibruproen and a day of rest (at least a day if not more)  and we will see what happens...wish me luck
