Well, I was reading the blog posts of the past and realized at week 8 i had my colonoscopy and my body has not been right since! you would think by now i would be fine! and on week 9 i was seen by my doctor for what i thought was a sinus infection, and I am still somewhat sick. I didn't think it had been ten weeks. well, i am still struggling with whatever it is. Time to make another doctor appointment to find out what my symptoms are!

Week 17
November 7th Monday, well I am sore as hell. I have been icing and taking aleive. A little DMSO also, I am trying it , it seems to be helping with the knee pain.
anyway, I went to my new PF gym in my town, it is clean and nice, i did the eliptical at 5 for 30 min getting in 3 miles.
Tuesday 11/8/11 I seem to be more sore in different places and the bruise on my right leg is getting bigger. I ran 3 miles on the TM... very hard to do since I am so sore and hard to walk stairs.
Wed 11/9/11 I am feeling less sore, and not as sick, the coughing is going away, i hope. i went to the gym (almost did not go!) i was able to get in a good weight work out :) i did the pf 30 min workout then did some good stretching.
The bruse on my right thigh is huge and tender (from the fall i took on Sunday last)
Thursday: ran 3 miles, not great but did it.
Friday, 11/11/11 off
Saturday 11/12/11 off
Sunday November 13, 2011 Ran 8.17 miles in 1:34:04 for a little over 11:30 mm... better than last week. I felt good while I was running, I really felt like i could have gone faster and tried to do just that, I seemed to be able to breath good, so I will have to push it more!
I did ice my knees. they are sore, not hurting, just sore. I have to find some other way to make them feel better. I have new sneakers that are good. I bought good shoes and now I have a arch support in the new shoe. I am trying that ... we will see.
Next week I will be training at night. Should be interesting. I thought it was a good idea to give me an idea of how I will be on the Race night.
My Trainer said nothing other than get your miles in. :)

Week 16
October 31 Monday - No Run... Everyone lost electricity from the big storm we had. it snowed out on Saturday evening and due to the heavy snow and leaves still on the trees we lost a lot of trees. the devestation has been incredible. we did not regain full power in our town until friday november 4th, they managed to come out to remove the live wire in our driveway. they postponed Halloween until the 4th. we were nervous about the kids coming to the house that night. Well, it is gone now.
Tuesday, TM 2 Miles
Wed 4 miles tm
thursday TM 3 Miles
Friday Off
Saturday Off
Sunday 14 miles total time 3hours 15 min 54 sec
14 mm or so.
my first half (7miles) i felt great, legs were good, knee felt okay ( i wore both knee braces) Hilly run at some points but okay. at 1 1/2 miles i fell due to a car traveling quite fast toward a stop sigh. he was not looking my way. i was running on the left side against traffic and saw him coming fast, so i stepped to my left and rolled my ankle left, but fell to the right, onto the pavement in front of the car. he did stop and jump out to make sure i was okay, i thought he was going to have a heart attack. anyway, i scraped my elbow and bruised my right upper leg. i am okay though. the second half was mostly controlling myself down hill. that is tough for me, to actually have a controlled downhill run so i do not become exhausted. at 12 miles i was tiring and ran for 2 min and walked 20 sec for a bit. and tried to push myself the last 1/2 mile. All in all i can and will do it :) haha
