I'm still here!

Alright, so last time I left off, I had an appointment scheduled with an orthopedic surgeon to look at me knees. That was last Wednesday. I went to my appointment as scheduled and, basically this is what he told me:

Wanted: More hours in a day

Wow, so apparently I'm now a weekly blogger rather than a daily, or every-other-daily blogger. I suck. The days are just flying by and before I know it, its Monday again! Oy!

Well, as usual, I've been working a ton but fortunately my shifts have become more regular. So my typical week looks like this...

Workaholic

Howdy. Well, I've offically done a horrible job in the blogging department, haven't I?

Well, mostly its because I haven't had time. All I've been doing lately is working and sleeping and, if I'm lucky, I get to stop to eat every once in a while.

I'm at least a little less stressed out now that I've decided not to tackle the half-marathon this year. Not to mention my face has cleared up as well. I was obviously WAY more stressed than I thought because my face was breaking out like crazy! Worse than I think its ever been, and I don't usually have "face issues" much...

Anyhow, TMI, I know, sorry. I think there's a half marathon in our area this fall so depending on how my summer goes, I may try to do that one. I would really really like to at least get a 10K under my belt this year as well as run a sub 30 5K. I think that those will be my two goals to replace the half-marathon goal - although the sub 30 one was already a goal, if I remember correctly.

I also went on Friday and saw my doctor about my knee problem...

Change of Heart

If it were easy, everyone would do it.

Ain't that the truth.

Training for half-marathon is tough enough when you've got the time, energy and desire to push through all those greuling, 5:00 am "tempo/speed" runs and two hour long "long runs" on the weekend.

Add in just a pinch of the basic factor of "life" and it gets even tougher yet.

Throw in a dash of my-knees-are-the-size-of-grapefruits-and-feel-like-they're-going-to-explode and my-nerve-is-pinched-in-my-back-again and things go downhill fast.

So have you guessed what I'm getting at here???

I'm alive! I swear!

Yes, I'm here! I swear I'm here! I've had about a kazillion things going on and haven't had the time to blog. I've k...
