This has not been a great week for me health wise. It started with me losing a contact lens. I HATE wearing my glasses--I can't see as well with them and they get smudged and blurry and are tough to run in and play volleyball in. And I'm less confident in my appearance when wearing them, which doesn't help at work. I then went running on Monday and tripped on the sidewalk and hit the ground HARD. I tore up my knees and hit my shoulder too. That cut my first run of the week short. And I had already missed my long run since I had company in town. And it turns out I will not even attempt a run over 2 hours during the week after a long work day. So after that fiasco,

ok the next day off from working out because of my knees and because I was feeling really run down and had a sore throat. I squeezed in a quick two yesterday before going to the Shedd Aquarium for Jazzin' at the Shedd. Finally, today I was so wiped after going to work and the eye doctor and having dilated eyes that I skipped my run and laser tag. And I was really looking forward to laser tag!
Anyway.....that has been my week thus far. I'm adjusting to a new job, dealing with a new sleep schedule, and then all of this hit me. So what I need to do now is to restart. Tomorrow I will run the 6 miles to volleyball unless it is pouring rain and Saturday, no matter what it takes, with sweat dripping from every part of my body, I will run my 18. I have to get back on track.
Thanks to everyone who donated, I reached my fundraising goal for the American Liver Foundation! I have to do my part now. And that means forgiving myself for missing a few runs and coming back better than ever. Here's my page--you can still donate!
