    Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I ended the week at 2/7 with a 5 mile race on Thanksgiving morning. My foot bothered me pretty much the entire run, and the next day was even worse. :angry: Looks like I will be putting my running on hold until this dang foot heals. I've been reading some running forums and based upon my symptoms it sounds like I have a tendinitis, so basically rest, ice, ibuprofen are the treatments. I'm hoping that laying off of it for a week or two will allow it to heal. So my fitness on here will be spotty at best for the next bit. I still have 8 weeks until the half marathon, so there's enough time to build my mileage as long as I can get back to running in two weeks. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

    Sorry things are so busy for you, Debra, but I'm sure you're burning tons of calories with all the work you're doing! And keep up the great work Verda, you continue to be such a rockstar!!

    I'm still sitting at 0/7 for the week. :sad: At least my foot isn't bothering me as much to walk on it now, so maybe within a week or so I'll be back at it. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

    Hope everyone is having a good week and keep up the great work!

    Hey guys! Just checking in. I actually ended the week last week at 1/7 with 35 minutes on the elliptical, and was relatively pain free. Today I had an appointment with the podiatrist at our hospital who happens to be my neighbor, so I was able to bypass his 2 month waiting list--score!!! He checked an xray which was fine, and he thinks that I just strained the ligaments in one of the joints in my foot. I'm getting custom orthotics, and I can start running once I'm pain free. So we'll see if my foot will c ooperate with a little more rest. In the meantime, I think I'll befriend my elliptical once again. :smile:

    Hey friends, hope everything is good for you. I am so tired these days and I feel so unmotivated. Glad to see this feeling does not spread around like the flu :wink:

    Keep up the good work and I hope your foot feels better soon Heather.

    Hello Deb and Ivy!!!!

    I thought that this year we started on Sundays since January 1st was a Sunday. I've been counting the week as Sunday through Saturday, but as long as you're getting the workouts in I guess it doesn't matter!! And you always get your workouts in so you can track your week however you want. :wink:

    I didn't get any workouts in last week--unless you count running around all weekend Christmas shopping!! :laugh: My foot is starting to feel better, and although I want so bad to hop on the treadmill and run I am going to wait until it is completely better. The pain seems to be migrating towards the back of my foot, near my heel now, so I'm hoping it will migrate right on out of my foot in the next week or so. I think that if I can get back to running by Christmas I will really have a shot at getting back in decent enough shape to run the half in January. I know that my speed won't be as good, but I really just want to have the experience. If not, no huge loss--there's a half in April for the Kentucky Derby that my sister is running, so I can always do that one instead.

    Hope you guys are having a great day!

    Hello friends... Glad to hear I am not the only one struggling to get the exercise in.
    Such a busy time...
    I wish you all the best!!!

    Thank you Heather and I sure hope your foot heals faster! You are always running here & there so I suppose that is going to delay you some!!! Hang in there, you'll always have a race coming up somewhere!!

    Debra, you just do what you can do, that's all there is to it!!!

    If we start on Sundays then I am 3/7 with a 10 mile bike ride at 4:30 this morning along with abs and reps! This evening I did 380 stair steps for another challenge!!!

    Drum roll please.....I am FINALLY 1/7 with a 2 mile RUN on my treadmill tonight!!!! And it was very nearly pain-free!!!! Just a little bit of soreness in the foot during running, but only about a score of 1 on a scale of 1-10. Yay!!! I'm so excited and hope it still feels good tomorrow!

    Happy Thursday everyone!
