Monday Mix Tape

10K training week 3:
After stressing about it from Thursday onward, I woke up on Saturday at 6am to pouring rain and lightning and I have to say I was a little relieved! I was ridiculously sore from the weeks workouts and it felt great to get a little extra sleep. I still made myself go to the gym and do a 5k on the treadmill which seemed so easy after training outside for the last few weeks!
---------------------------------------
Aches, pains and whatnot:
Now that my foot is fixed, my left shoulder has decided to act up. It could be arthritis, tendonitis, or a rotator cuff injury. I won't know until I see a specialist. I guess I'll just go back to the orthopedic practice and ask for the shoulder specialist since the foot specialist cured me. They should have a "frequent shopper" program where the 10th visit is free or something :)

As if I wasn't feeling old enough, night sweats have started. (heavy sigh)
----------------------------------------
Things that make you think:
I'm so proud of my friend Crys who just had a gastric bypass and is home recovering. This has been a huge step for her and something I've thought about a million times and am WAY too afraid to take on.
----------------------------------------
Weight loss?
I don't even know what that means anymore it's been so long. It's so frustrating working out 5-6 days a week and seeing no progress on the scale. It's time to do something drastic but I'm not sure what that is yet. Vegan diet? Endocrinologist? Nutritionist? Juice Fast?
-----------------------------------------
The week ahead
I have a full week of workouts planned and a 5K on Saturday. I'm not even nervous about it (yet!!)

Have a great week everyone!

  1. Isn't it amazing how much easier running is on the treadmill, once you've gotten used to running outdoors? Love it, and nice job getting your run in, despite the weather!!!

    Weight loss...ugh. I have no clue, but I feel your frustration. Maybe get some blood work done to rule out anything wonky, and then try a nutritionist?

    Also, I'm excited for your 5K this Saturday!!!

  2. Don't drink Juice Fast... you'll get hiccups!

  3. Thanks for the visits and the words of encouragement. It was a tough, tough decision. Your support means a lot.

    Just keep at it. One foot in front of the other.
