Sick again :o(

I woke up this morning and my youngest had diarrhea! So.......there is another wonderful start to a day! I had planned on doing 4 on the treadmill this morning, but with Kaden home from school I can't go.

Yesterday, I ate well and ran a little. The kids were full of energy and feeling better by the afternoon, so I let them go to their soccer/baseball practices. I only did 2.27 miles while they were practicing, but at least I did SOMETHING despite the day being a mess!

I might go to the gym after my husband gets home from work tonight. I really want to get in that 4 miles today.

Oh.....the 5k on Friday. They MOVED it, which sucks. I need to call and find out if the new location includes this steep hill. I cannot run down steep hills with my ACL torn. The Jan 1st 5k on base included this hill. I really want to do the 5k...so we shall see!

Tomorrow morning I am weighing in. Wish me luck! I have a feeling I will be paying for the last couple weekends of eating like crap! It will be 4.5wks since my last weigh-in, so I am hoping for at least a 5lb loss to give me a steady 1 pound per week loss.

Day 49- 2.27 miles
Day 50- 4.14 miles, walked the last mile of it, 52:29.....@35-36min 5k.

I got in my run. Instead of the treadmill, I figured I would get in an outdoor workout since that is so much harder to me than the treadmill. I pushed hard to see what a good 5k time to aim for on Friday is. My neighborhood, where I ran, is pretty hilly and I did it in 35min according to my plotting of the distance, and 36:09 according to the Nike+. SOoooooooo, my goal for the 5k race is 36 minutes or less.

My pre-op appointment is in the morning. I honestly hope my surgeon notices my weight loss and increased strength. It would be a nice pick-me-up for all the hard work I have been doing! We shall see :)
