A Little Set Back

-
I thank the Lord for yesterday evening when I felt so great! I was able to spend some time alone with my beautiful, wonderful husband and we had such a great time doing next to nothing next to one another...sigh...isn't he great?!

But, phooey. This morning I felt like I got hit by a mack truck. My hand was really aching. I cut my pain pills back dramaticlly in the last couple of days so I figured that was what was up with the pain. But I was also sick to my tummy and just overall blah.

Sweet Husband made me some breakfast and I felt a little better. When I went to PT and my hand looked really swollen and icky today. I'll spare you and just supply a Link to Icky Hand Photo, if you are interested.

The PA swabbed some icky stuff out of the owie and told me to keep an eye on the nausea today. I guess the new antibiotic is a real stinker and tends to make people feel wierd (or wierder depending on who you are). :) She also said that it bled a little, and that is good.
She said that is good. Dead tissue doesn't bleed. Okay...good to know.

Please continue to pray for healing. It seems like this issue has fallen in between medical specialties here and they kinda don't know what to do with me.

So when I left the hospital it was super sore. On a positive note, I got a great walk in at the hospital. They forgot to tell me that the South Entrance is locked on the weekends, so I had to walk around. It was great to do some real walking and get my heart pumping, I have been so lacking regular movement this week. So, while mildly inconvenient, I needed the exercise.

Looking forward to spending this day relaxing and doing things that fun to Me! I love our children, and am such a better Mommy after a couple of days apart.

Lincoln Marathon Race Report

Another beautiful Spring day in Nebraska, another year running the Lincoln National Guard Marathon and Half Marathon! David and I rode our bikes to the start of the race, as we do each year.  Since they recently moved the start line, to accommodate more runners, we need to change where we rack our bikes! The weather on the Saturday before the race was terrible!  Our 11yo daughter, Alahnnah, ran the KFRX Mayor's Run and it was miserable.  It was about 35 degrees with 20mph winds and rain.  We had discouraged the girls from participating - but when a kid tells you "Mom, we signed up for it, we need to do it" - you have to do it. Miss A giving me "the look" Thankfully, Sunday was a little better.  The temps were hovering around 40 and there was no rain.  The wind had died down a bit, but it was still chilly!  I dressed in a t-shirt and a jacket when last year I ran in a tank top! When we got to the race, we lined up waaaay in the back near the 5:15 pace

Woohoo for Week Two + *sad face*

Week Two of training for the Legend 70 went great! Since Week One  was a little weak-sauce, I aimed for perfection for week two.  I stuck to my eating, relaxing and training plans to a "T". Monday - Took a 2.5 mile walk on the treadmill while watching The Walking Dead, stretch and foam rolled.  I did 30 minutes of yoga after work and let myself have some time to relax and decompress. Tuesday - Jumped out of bed for a 45 minute run and a 20 minute strength routine.  Still was struggling a little bit with tight chestedness from last week, but we got through it. Tuesday PM - went to the pool for a 45 minute swim.  My friend who just had bariatric surgery went with me and did her pool laps, too.  I am really proud of her! Wednesday - woke up a bit tired from heavy training the day before, but put my best effort into a 45 minute bike and 15 minute run.  If you do them one right after the other it's called a "brick." Thursday - A tired 45 minute bike r

Maximum Pressure - Achieved

I'm so upset that my arms are numb.  I had a panic attack in the dairy aisle of the grocery store.  Really not sure I've been this stressed out for a while. After a non-stop cry fest from a fussy daycare baby, my tweeny-bopper rushed in the house and up to her room before I could even say hello.  The baby had finally succumbed to napping just before she arrived. She emerged from the staircase sobbing and hysterical.  She had left her gerbil in his ball all day.  He chewed his way out and was loose in her room.  Somewhere. My husband went up with a net as I tried to fix dinner.  David emerged with blood dripping all over the place to report that "Peanut" was back in his cage.  Just then, one of my clients arrived to pick up his child.  Nothing says "Love and Safety" like blood all over the place.  Pretty sure hubs should have had a stitch where that rat bit him. During all of this, our teen was texting form school to say that his trainer wouldn't
