Wish me luck

I am leaving for Sports med in 10mins. Wish me luck that I figure out the problem and get some answers.



Weekend in photos and little talk

Friday I was asleep by 9pm...literally could not keep my eyes open. I was so excited Bri got another deer I need to get some sleep.

Got up early to join the Girls, Hey Hey, Manda and Robyn for a 5K. I was the ONLY one who wore a cute outfit out of all 35 people who ran or walked. Guess the rain and cold deterred people from HAVING FUN! Well I am injured and could only do the 5K walk so I made the best of it! (I forgot to take a pic on race day so this is a reenactment on Sunday. I also was having difficulty get a full body shot.)

I finished the walk first with a time of 39:52...eh its ok its a 12:54 pace. But along the way EVERY volunteer said I looked awesome! I am waiting to see if my pic is put up on their website for some action pics LOL. I got the biggest kick out of seeing the girls coming back to get me but then had to job to keep up with me. I was trying so hard not to break out into full racewalk because it hurt the ankle to do that.

After the race I came home and curled up with my kitties and may have fallen to sleep for about 2 hours!!

 Ziva has taken a liking to blending in with the old toys Bri has up on our shelf. (White thing at the end of the shelf is Ziva and yes we are watching Storage Wars!!)

 By the end of the day this is what our backyard looked like too!! Crazy for PA right now but have grown up near Lake Erie and Lake Ontario I have Trick or Treated in snow several times.

Now for Sunday....stay of my foot even more and watch Say Yes to the Dress all day.

QOTD: Which relaity shows do you watch?

I watch Amazing Race, Biggest Loser, Sing Off, Say yes to the Dress, Storage Wars....ect...

Tid Bits

1. I have a Dr.s Apt with Sports Med on Monday. I have pain in one spot and swollen in another. I iced in several places last night but it hurt to walk around without shoes last night.

2. WE ARE ALL GOING CRAZY AT SCHOOL!! First it is supposed to snow here soon in PA. Second Halloween is coming up so every kids can't stop talking about their costume.

3.I really want to run this weekend but I know to not try. So I might just walk it if I can find someone to walk it with me. Or sign up for the run and walk so I can jog to the finish.....I have a hard time signing up for the walk!

Anyone else going crazy with the weather change? Snow already at your place??

Ouch filled Wednesday

 All I can say is that it has gotten to the point where I think I may need it looked at but I still do not want to. I noticed that it is swollen and and there is more pain just from walking around at work. Ugh...not sure if taking it easy on running will be enough or if I have to see a doctor..ideas, thoughts anyone??

As I was icing these two were walking above me. If you look very carefully you can see the rope around the chimney they used to scale further up the roof. They were trying to seal up some spots that have been leaking before the weather gets real wet. Sounds like lots of fun to me.

Not guilty

I have nothing new or exciting to share. I have been doing nothing but work since Monday began. School is crazy right now with a lot of parent meetings. GOTR was great last night as we discussed bullying. I came home and got right on my school computer to finish up the prep for the kids rainforest research project.

So I will leave you to what I came home to last night.

Aren't we cute Momma? I am only holding her still....



Monster Dash recap and a great day

Well I was really hoping to run this race with one of my GOTR girls but her dad showed up to report that she had been up all night sick to her stomach. I was also up throughout the night with a MAJOR migraine. Bri was up with me making sure I was ok. I had to drink a nalgene bottle of Gatorade and take drugs before I was able to fall back asleep. So when I showed up and she wasn't there to run I contemplated cheering Amanda and Heather on and not running.

We got our packets easily but they gave me the wrong size shirt....bummer. This was the first year for this race and it was going well so far. Labeled well for parking and packet pickup. So I decided to run but see how I felt as my stomach was a tad bit upset.

We got started right at 9am as the guy used his iPhone to start the gun right at 9. We made the first turn and people started "saying aren't we supposed to turn right?" Yup the leader and most of us in the front turned right. UGH! People started yelling at the leaders to stop as Heather and I turned around and weaved through strollers and such to get back up front. Shortly after the mile mark I was thinking hmm I think Heather and I are 2nd and 3rd. I had no intentions of breaking away or falling back from her because I still do not want to run without one of them. Then a little later Heather asked if we were 2nd and 3rd. I looked back to see our gap on the next women and we had about 50yds. So we picked it up a little to open the gap. At the turn around we still held a nice gap. Around this time we made missed another wrong turn as the volunteers were at the wrong corner. Annoying! We then got to see where Manda was and she was doing great around 5/6th women!! Heather and I did whatever we could to just hold or placing and did not slow down or speed up. Close to the finish I told her to go through first. We finished 24:05ish 7:47 pace. I will take that on my first race racing back from the half and medical s***. My belly felt better because I think I pushed all the drainage out by the finish line. Heather and I turned around quickly to run Manda in who we saw just prior to the last turn. We got her to the finish line to get a FAST time for her!

Even with 2 wrong turns my GPS still said exactly 3.1 but my time might have been under 24 if I didn't have to get started again at the start line.

This was a race that people dressed up at. I had black wings in my car that I was going to wear if my GOTR girly showed up. But I still wore my cute little girls skirt that I got at Wally World.

(Thanks for the pic Heather that I stole from your blog!)

We all got a medal today too!

Us girls spent the rest of the day together for lunch, seeing Footloose, and a little shopping. I came home exhausted that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I feel asleep on the couch around 6pm and moved from the couch to bed at 8pm. 

This AM I was up around 7am got cleaning done and now at 9:30 am I have it all done and ready to relax with the kitties!!

QOTD: Ever show up sick to a race and then feel better by the time you are finished? Who has worn a costume to a race? What did you wear?

So behind on Tid BIts

Lets get caught up here....

1. I lost my first follower....what can you do? Nothing. I have read it from so many others that have a lot of followers. I don't even want to ask what I did to lose them. Moving on.

2. I am getting majorly overloaded at school as everyone is scrambling to get all the grades in the next few weeks. It sounds crazy but conferences are right before Thanksgiving and it sounds so close right now! With so many interruptions between now and then with Halloween parties, Red Ribbon week, Veterans Day, and also our GOTR community service project helping the flood victims. It is going to go by VERY fast.

3. Now a dilemma. I have not driven more than to work and back and short trips since my seizure. My family is doing a huge cousins picture when my Cousin comes home from Germany. It is Nov. 19th. I plan on making that my first long trip. I also have the Turkey Trot that morning. I LOVE THAT RACE! It is on the bike path and nice and smooth run. I told Bri I am doing both during that day and he said NO. well....I def see where he is coming from that it could be pushing it. Racing then driving 2hours home. Who knows how much my body can take yet. Ugh...I am just ready to get back into things and be able to do whatever whenever!!!

4. I have run 3 times this week. Twice with GOTR and once on the treadmill. When on the treadmill my kitty treid to join me! Scary that she ran over the treadmill as I was running!! Then stood right at the end of the belt. I was so worried her nose hairs were going to come off.

I have missed everyone this week and hope to get back to commenting. I am exactly 26 blog post behind!!

I am sorry if my post have been boring as well.

QOTD: Ever had to make a choice of not doing a race that you love??
