Highs and Lows

What an interesting day it was. First I called and made an appointment to see my Dr. about my shins because they are still aching and now they are swollen. Well, I had x-rays done and he told me, "No news is good news, if you don't hear from me today then it's not a stress fracture." He also said, "No running for a month, I am putting you on Mobic for 30 days and I don't want you running, you can ride a bike or whatever but no running!" I told my husband when we left, "Hmm, I am going running, I'm not quitting!" My husband was so serious begging me not to be hard headed. So, it took me all day but I came to grips with it and I am willing to do other low impact forms of cardio for a month and get back to my Podrunner if that means longevity with this running thing. I feel like crap making it through week 1 only to have to quit again. My shins may have won the battle but I will win this war! I am so serious about running for the 1st time in my adult life. I am going to switch it up a little. I will ride the bicycle and or walk 6 days per week this month. I will continue to alternate days for Yoga X and hopefully I will have built up my endurance and stamina by the time April 1st comes around and I can ease back into my Podrunner. Okay enough about the low for the day.

I just registered for my first 5k! Yeah! I mean it I am determined, i can still train for it without running this month right? The date is set people and I am so happy. June 27, 2010 at 2:30pm! I am doing Race for Life! I am just too thrilled! That is definately something to look forward to. I will leave you on that HIGH note. Thanks for reading. See You tomorrow.
