    I'm sick with a head cold and jacked up my back yesterday doing a 4 hour carpet cleaning project (it's only half done). It hurts to even walk today :( I really hope to run tomorrow for AIM! I didn't pull a muscle or anything, I'm just really sore.

    @Elise4270 Great war paint pic!

    @JessicaMcB Congrats on your race!

    And congrats to everyone else - I'm on my phone and it's hard to scroll and find all the names I should tag :p

    Big hug to @HonuNui today <3

    A post-September wrap-up for me. Didn't make my goal, but I'm claiming the hurricane exemption.
    @Dcorrick That's not a situation I would wish on anyone.

    10/1 - Rest
    10/2 - Rest
    10/3 - 5 miles treadmill before weight lifting
    10/4 - 8.15 miles
    10/5 - 5 miles treadmill. Worst workout ever with serious BG problems. So bad that I skipped weight lifting afterwards.
    10/6 - Rest
    10/7 - 1.4 miles. Was supposed to be 12 miles, but it was raining and I had some GI issues. Ugh.
    10/8 - 4.72 miles. Was harder than it should have been.
    10/9 - Rest
    10/10 - Figured out why I've been having GI/stomach issues/pain and difficulty breathing. Gall stones. Skipped run to try to flush gall stones.
    10/11 - 5.04 miles - was supposed to be race pace. Some gall stones were flushed, but still having abdomen issues. Still, this went pretty well and was almost to race pace. Going to do the home flush again on 10/13 to get rid of any remaining gall stones.
    10/12 - 5.53 miles. Went well, but will still do another gall bladder flush.
    10/13 - Rest / 2nd gall bladder flush
    10/14 - Rest
    10/15 - 12 miles

    Looked down at my calf when I put on my sneakers this morning. Here's what I saw.ubrirv7ypeb8.jpg
    Guess that's what I felt at mile 13 yesterday. Doctors visit tomorrow.

    Second run of the day, but this time the sixteen year old didn't want to join me. My six year old did, but given the walking he was doing today, I said he could run around the block with me, which he was really happy to do. That was my warm-up, lol...and boy is he chatty when he's running!

    So once I'd dropped him back off at home, it was time to put in some nice easy miles...four this time. Along the way, a kid asked if I would high-five him, so I stuck out my hand and we high-fived as I went by. He called out thank you, and said I was his hero, so I raised both arms and let out a loud WOO-HOO before carrying on.

    Other than that, it was a nice easy run, but keeping the heart rate down was a challenge given the caffeine I've consumed today.

    02 - 5.26
    03 - 4.06
    04 - 4.07
    06 - 2.80
    07 - 2.01
    08 - 26.21
    11 - 2.06
    14 - 6.89

    Total: 49.36 / 100 miles

    The last time I passed some kids (waiting for the school bus) they shouted run, Forest, run! That movie came out wayyyy before their time!

    10/15: 7.2 miles

    44.4/70 miles

    I am over half way to my October goal! I think I didn't count my two Saturday 5k's when I figured out how much I would run this month.

    It was a beautiful day for a run. It was a little windy, but I really couldn't have asked for better weather. Then when I got home my husband had some steaks out on the grill so I didn't have to cook today! Life is good!

    @honunoi I'm so glad everything went well. Sounds like a huge success.

    @skippygirlsmom Glad the college visit was good. This is such a fun time. I bet y'all both needed a good trip after the disastrous meet last week. My kid's senior years were when I really understood the meaning of "bittersweet". I know you are enjoying this time.

    @pastorvincent I hate it when technology doesn't work the way it is supposed to.

    Upcoming Races:
    10/7/17: Old Rip 5K ✔ PR: 30:46; 1st in AG
    10/14/17: Aim at Melanoma 5K (virtual)✔

    @sarahthes cool color!
    @kgirlhart you are so right. I was sitting at the football game and I started to cry not because I'm sad but because I'm excited for her and this next step in her life. I'll miss her so much if she's so away to college, it's been just the 2 of us her whole life.
