I just hurt myself with a lunch workout. Ufdah. I needed that.
Now that's the way to do it! Nice tempo.
My chances of heading out over lunch just got squashed. This week is not a good week and I'm losing my motivation to make it really happen. Let's see, approx 5 power blips/outages in the last 30 min here at work, it's starting to rain which will be turning to sleet, then snow, and the DW has a doc appt at 3:30 which means I have to get home to attend to a kid that has now been sick for 7 days. I don't know how families with two working parents manage.

I don't know how families with two working parents manage.
They don't have time to go for runs.
My wife goes back to work in 3 weeks...which is why I needed to make sure we had a working treadmill. I hear you though, she only works 2-3 days per week. My parents both worked but father was self-employed so he had the flexibility to deal with doc appts etc. Two parents with littl work hour flexibility...ugh, that would be tough.

hope you get your run in today Mike!
Got a doc appointment tonight at 8. Fingers crossed that it's nothing. Will be heading out for a jog with my husband after dd gets home from school. Not sure I'll get very far so we'll stay close to home. Hopefully I'm wrong
Got one mile done. Legs felt great. Lungs felt like crap. every time I tried to talk I ended up in a coughing fit. After we stopped I coughed for like 2 minutes straight. Still wheezing *sigh*
MTA: on a side note I wore the Piranna's and they felt very nice! Can't wait to see how they feel doing a speed workout n them

when I worked, my husband would go out for a run, when he was showering for work I'd head out for my run. It was usually early enough that the kids were still in bed sleeping.
Well, got 10 miles in split up throughout the night. Poor boy is still stick and staying home again from school again. This is his 9th day. Usually our schedules are pretty good and flexible but this week just has not been a good week. Getting the TM has helped tremendously as I could run in the morning while the DW is at the gym training with her group. She has a back strain that is limiting all of her activities. So with that, a sick kid and work stress, there's never enough time in the day to run!
Pam, hope your doc visit went well last night and that you have some answers.

The leg still doesn't feel right. I got home and it was raining so I decided to take a day off. First day off since November 14.
We'll try again tomorrow. Right now I am having a beer.
Pam, how's it going?
Not at it at all.

Right there with you with beer, day off due to rain and leg not feeling right.
I'm sure if I drink enough it'll feel good enough for a run..

Hope it's not so windy there as it is here Tim! It snowed here. Hope you enjoyed your day off!
Well the doc said my heart and lungs sounded good. He even announced that my HR was 44 (this was at 8 at night).He's a runner as well so we chatted a bit. He took blood to check my liver and kidney.
Good news today is that going to the doctor seems to have scared some of the weight off (down 8lbs got about 5 to go) and my resting heart rate this morning was 38.
MTA: the lab called and Calcium and something else (wasn't really expecting this and it went in one ear and out the other) were low. Blood sugar was high. Told me I needed to make a follow up appointment so I did. I'll be going back Tuesday morning
At least they are getting there rocken. Hope the Dr. hones in on a solution.
Good workout for me today. 15 with 7 at MP in the middle. Overall 7:47 pace in some wicked wind and friggin 26 degrees. We wmight not be seeing snow but winter is reminding us it's still feb here in IN.

Heart and Lungs, whatever. Did the doc say anything about your swollen belly?
A reason for calcium to be low is because it is fine but a blood protein called albumen, which carries calcium, is low. A low albumen and a swollen belly makes me wonder about your liver... Did you get liver tests?
Course, I'm sitting here with my second drink of the day. Maybe I should wonder about my liver.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

Yes he did liver tests. I guess I will find out come Tuesday. I tried to call the lab back today to find out what the other thing that came back low but no one answered. Guess that's because officially they aren't open today *sigh*
MTA: I rarely drink and if that's my problem you BETTER start to wonder lol
