Finally felt good enough to do something today.  Sinus infection ain't no fun.  Beautiful day out there!  ABAKE had a great 1/2 mary!!!  WooWhooo....perfect weather for her, no doubt! 

 

Thanks John, it was a great race.  You're right -- PERFECT weather!!!!  Hope the sinuses are better, those things seem to take forever.

Shoes are a big deal for me, seems like I would settle on a shoe that worked and then they would change the model just enough that I couldn't wear it any longer.  After a nasty bout with plantar fasciitis (sp?), I'm sticking to strictly neutral shoes with custom orthotics.  So far it has worked.  Where are you going for the gait analysis?


I have actually had a couple of gait analyses done.  The first was just by the shoe guy in an athletic store.  I'm sure he just wanted to sell me some high end shoes. The second was done by a physical therapist. She is the one who told me I needed orthotics (which about killed my feet BTW). I need to go to a specialty running shop that is about an hour from here. It's just finding the time to go now.

I sometimes wonder if the whole orthotics thing is just another money maker.  My insurance did not cover them.  I will say that I've had fewer issues since using them, but am not going to claim that they have solved all my foot problems.

OK,  so I just got back from the running shop with a new pair of shoes.  The guy there did another gait analysis and told me that I both over pronate and supinate...lol.  Now I am convinced that NO ONE knows what they are talking about.  Anyway I went back to a shoe style that I have run in in the past that did not cause me pain.  Hopefully that will help get me back to full strength soon. I want to jump into a new training regimin soon and will need to be running more often than what I have been.

Haha! Good plan to go back to something that worked in the past!

Hooray!  It's Monday again!  What's everybody got on tap for today?  Going riding with the kids this morning then a run later. Maybe a fun swim too.  We're expecting rain this afternoon and it's the last day of Spring break for the boys, so they want to go to the pool. Have a great day everyone. Laughing

Another wet, gloomy day in Central IL!   Onward! 

Hope everyone had a great Easter.    Anyone experiencing Spring?   If you are from Hawaii, don't answer!

Spring is trying to get here! Did a short bike/run this morning (indoor bike, outdoor run in the rain) to test my legs.

I was glad to see y'all are still here.  It took me a bit to figure out what had happened.  Sorry I've been out of touch but I'll try to explain concisely.

Last week I was at my Mom's in NM.  She didn't have any internet until the last day I was there and even that was slow and sporadic. 

My husband called me as I was waiting at the airport to come home and said his mother was deteriorating fast.  She's been in hospice care for only a couple of weeks.  So after a long day of travel on Saturday I finally got to Spokane.  She died early Sunday morning very peacefully.

We have a memorial service Tuesday night here in Spokane and another in Tennessee on May 1.  So the travel will continue for a while.  Right now we just have a houseful of people and food.

Luckily there's enough people to watch my boy some and I can get out and run or whatever.  Today I did a run/walk, after a week off it was pretty hard.  Tonight I'm gonna try to swim while the kids play in the pool.

As far as new mentor groups, I don't think I'm gonna start with a new one.  I like this one just fine.

Make it a great day.

Sorry to hear about the family.  At least the end was peaceful for your MIL. Hope you can get things back to some sense of normalcy soon.  I know I hate it when my life is all up in the air.  Good Luck with things.  Thoughts and prayers headed your way.

Since no one seems to be talking, I gonna make an assumption that we are done as a formal mentor group here.  I will keep you all in my list and hit up as many of you as I can with an Inspire here and there.  Thanks for coming along for the ride the last few months. It was fun.  Good Luck out there.
