bittersweet weekend

I went out to run on Saturday and was PISSED when I was not able to run hardly at all. I had had such a great run on Thursday I just knew I was cresting a hill. My sis (aka Cheerleader) told me to expect days like that. Could be nutrition, or being tired or anything. She keeps telling me a lot of it is MENTAL.... so i was willing to sulk in my pain and misery. It was SO wrong. I was barely able to do 2 legs and that is only about 1/4 a mile.

so Sunday after church, I was determined to get out there and try again. I am still irritated about no success of any type on Saturday -- can you tell?

So I went out around 2pm. I was there for 46 minutes, walked/run 2.5 miles total and ran a little bit less than 1/2 of that just guessing. I did not focus on the time or amount/length... I just ran until I could not run anymore. There were times my legs were dying, so I would walk, then there were times I could not breath... so I would walk. My lymph nodes are still swollen and tender, but not near as much as last Friday.,..

in other things. Mom has lost 24 pounds on the program... sounds great. Bailey (Shelley's daughter) had her tonsils out Friday and she is not drinking well... concern there. Jack will have a prostate biopsy in the next couple of weeks...
