I actually got up this morning and went for a run after I dropped K at the bus stop, and it was 31 degrees out!!!! I ran in full sweatpants and hoodie, and damn it was cold and slow. And, I made Jake miss the bus because I took too long. I need to remember that when I go in the mornings I can only do 2.

30 4 30

We are having this wellness contest called 30 for 30, where participants exercise for 30 min per day for the 30 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas in effort to avoid the holiday bulge. I have to say it was my ingenius idea. Anyhoo, that's been a big part of my motivation to be going every day. So today I just walked two miles briskly. In my slippers, hoodie and no bra. But, it counts bitchez!! Its hard to be motivated otherwise, knowing that in 3 weeks I'm not going to be able to do any substantial exercise for 6 weeks.

2.5

I did 2.5 in Tucson this morning, before the festivus at Dad's. I have to say today I felt the best I've felt since before the incident. Just goes to show if you keep at it, it comes back. And thank goddess I've been doing decently over Thanksgiving because in the spirit of the season, I ate like a hog. I just ate a whole handful of hershey kisses on top of the ridiculous quantities of crap I've eaten today.

3.99

Which I counted as four. You wanna hear something annoying? Last Saturday I did 4.56 miles, doing 3/2 intervals and ended up doing 13:02 minute miles. Today, I did four miles doing 2/2 intervals and did 13:05 minute miles.

So, the 3/2 intervals are not making me faster, they are just making me more miserable. Screw that!

alright already!!!!

I did 3.5 on wed, 2 yesterday and about 2.5 today. They were all relatively lazy runs with plenty of walking, but right now I'm just focusing on making sure I get out there.

In honor of Thanksgiving I have to recount the following conversation that took place whilst mom was asking for assistance with the gravy.

Mom: missy could you grab this while I tip the pan?
Missy (confused): wha??
Mom: could you just put your hand on the bone?
Missy: that's what she said, heh heh
Me: its been a long time since I heard that
Emily: that's cause its such an old joke
Me: no, I meant about putting my hand on the bone!

Ba dump bump

Did 3.5 on Thanksgiving (5K plus took the dog out), and two today. Wow, thank god I am keeping track of all this on here!! Otherwise, I might have to find another echo chamber where I hear nothing but crickets chirping.

Anterior Innominate Rotation

That's what I have that is making my hip hurt. He says it likely doesn't have anything to do with the shoes, that was just an unfortunate coincidence that it happened right after I got fitted for those new shoes. It is simply a running injury, I probably did it while doing one of those long training runs.

Anyhoodle, he moved it back where it needed to be and now I have all these old lady exercises I have to do twice a day to try and make it stay where it needs to be. And no running for two days and no crossing my legs anymore. Which is a surprisingly hard habit to break.

I ran 3.4 miles yesterday morning before the appointment. Today my hip is sore, but in a different way. It is sore from the exercises I am doing and also from the manipulation he did to it yesterday, which took quite a bit of effort since I waited so long to address the problem, it was hard to put it right.

Ugh

Ok, I went, finally, after all the drama of the last two weeks. I think I have a pretty good excuse through Thursday of this week given Kailey's injury and my strep. But, I really should have started up again on Thurs. Anyhoo, I did my 3.5 mile route and I have to say it was Uh-guh-ly!!!!!! I felt like I weighed about 1000 pounds. Good times.

4.56

I didn't want to go, but I went. I also did three miles on the treadmill on Thursday, but I didn't bother to post it since I am the only one posting here.

My time today was 59:30, 13:02 per mile, I think.

This is the last time I'm posting until someone else does.

3 Treadmill

Did three treadmill miles yesterday at the hotel. The room was really hot, so i t was kind of miserable, but it got done.

Can't help but notice that I am, in fact, the only one posting here. Are we doing this or not?
