Legs are dying over here

Tuesday I was so excited about my success.. I was so pumped. I have had sore legs ever since... but today is training and when I went out to run, my hamstrings are so stiff I could hardly walk. So I started running and made it 2 cycles (2 min run/4 min walk) and had to stop because I was about to cry and fall to the ground since I could not lift my legs up off the ground.

I came home - barely able to get there- and took 600mg of advil and put some stinky ointment on there. 1 hour later I was finally walking like a normal person again... it was finally easing up.

WOW.. Jack says I need to rest and take it easy - while I think I am needing to push through and do better stretching.

I am also concerned for a friend of mine who has had lymphoma twice in her life (she is younger than me) and now has another spot... she is so strong and has such faith in God. I am not sure I could be as wonderful about it as she has been.

I will try to train again tomorrow- at least do some exercises in the morning so I will not be as stiff. Tomorrow night is a valentines banquet at church and Nick will be helping out... so we will be there...

Keep you posted!

  1. Definately stretch!! I don't have much room to talk because I never stretch but it has made my ankle feel much better!! As for getting my pictures on my blog, I just drag them down to where I want them to go. And to post a link, type in whatever you want it to say, highlight the word or words then click on the little globe sign up by font and where you would go to add a picture, and type in the web address and it should be linked. Hope that makes sense!
