Busy, Busy

I should have posted so much sooner but it seems like every time I turn around there is something to do. Between swimming lessons, dentist appointments, hair appointments, doctor appointments, work and training I am exhausted! But I gotta keep moving.

I had a pretty slow week last week with my training but it might have been just what I needed. I have been having a lot of knee pain and left foot pain. Last Thursday, I was supposed to do five miles. The only time I would have had would have been at 5 in the morning. My walking partner was all for it but when I got up at 4:30, I really wasn't feeling it. I told myself, you made a promise and a commitment to do this 3-day challenge. I really needed the extra sleep but I got in the car and drove to her house. When I pulled in her driveway the house was completely dark. I said a little prayer, "If I am supposed to go home and get more rest just let me know." I waited for 10 minutes and decided it was time to go back to bed. It turns out her son had been playing with her phone the night before and turned the sound down. I'm telling you, these kids can really mess up your phone now! Mason almost made a purchase on mine the other day! Anyway, I didn't do the 5 on Thursday and then I didn't do Sunday either. Sunday we went to the indoor pool so I did a little bit of water aerobics to try to strenghten some muscles. Today, I felt much better when I was walking so I think it was a good idea to rest some last week.

I had a very challenging walk a week or so ago. It was raining cats and dogs outside so I just decided I would go do my miles at the gym. I got all my stuff together and when I walked in the gym, all the TVs were off. I was super bummed because without the TV, I wouldn't have anything to look at. There weren't a lot of people at the gym either so I couldn't even people watch. I turned my iPod on and started walking. About a half of a mile into my walk, my iPod battery died. Seriously? It was the absolute worst workout ever! BUT, I finished all four miles!

So, the walks are going great. I am feeling great. The closer it gets the more excited I get and it will be here before I know it!

I want to end this post by thanking everyone that has donated to Susan G. Komen 3-Day on my behalf. I want to give a big shout out to my sister, Maureen for putting me at the $3,000 mark with her donation tonight!! My family has been so supportive during this process and I definitely couldn't do any of it without them!
