| alarm went off at 5 and I said 5 more minutes. It turned into 30 minutes. it was humid slightly so it was hard to breath. I got to wear shorts no gloves today. Dog walk afterwards. I cut it short b/c there were others out with their dogs and for some reason that pisses off my boy dog.

| It was humid/chilly but comfy weather for a run. I love my a.m. workouts. I was actually up at 4:45 this morning to try to get it in. (I was gonna go for 6 but was running short on time) Dogs got a walk and I got breakfast. Just curious those of you that work with females mostly is it overly dramatical? I would say 10 % of the place I work is acting ridiculous. I'm trying not to get sucked in but it just makes me so pissed off. Most days I can just call them crazy and move on but this week has just the last straw. I went home and ate like a fat kid last night (twinkies and cake and soda-first one in a while) so I just wonder how the rest of you deal with stupid heads. I took my dog for a walk later and that helped. I just wish I would have thought of it before the twinkies attacked me!

I ran this one with a friend so I didn't really race it. It was cold wet and windy. Good times. Feels like 38. Kinda reminded me of my first 1/2. Her daugther and husband also ran it.
My hubby waited for me at the finish line. He is so sweet. Happy Sunday.
Earlier I did my strength routine and walked the dogs 1.25 miles in the rain. |

OUCH!
So last night my left shoulder was hurting. It still hurts even through the night. It is not an I hurt it hurt maybe over did it.
On todays run my heel hurt. And it hurt more and more on my run. I cut it slightly short. I thought maybe walking would help but I ended up cutting the dog walk short too.
We are dog sitting so now I had 4 dogs on my walk. Eventually that went well but I think I may split them and do two walks. That is if my heel stops hurting.
I rolled out my back and my legs. Heel is still troublesome. I want to run tomorrow (first 5 day week in a while) . |

waah norunning or walking. I'm gonna try walking in the afternoon. I hope. I got to grocery shop first. I'm wearing flip flops today so I"m hoping that will help. And why is it when you are hurt people ask "What is wrong?" "Oh my foot hurts" "Is it from running?" and maybe it is just me but they all just look for reasons to not run and me being hurt is perfect. So I just laughed it off and the girl this morning no I"m serious I want to know. I was talking over my injury with my brother and he said that maybe I was running my intervals too fast and that is why my foot hurts. He said, "April if you are running your easy runs at 11 min you can't do your intervals at 8:30" I"m like but I thought I was suppose to go all out for those 30 seconds. I'm such a nube when it comes to speed training. So I guess my intervals will now be 10 min ones as soon as my foot feels better. I hope to run tomorrow then I could still get in 5 days!

I don't know what is up with my foot. it hurts on the lateral sides of my achilles. It really sucks to flex my foot. Hot and cold soaks are not helping. Stretching sucks butt. It semi loosens as the day progresses (not really). At any rate looks like I will be out of commission for a few. Not cool b/c stress is getting to me.
So I'm going to tell of you so you can keep me honest. Today is also the day where I"m going to start my own 30 day challenge of no sugar, soda, or glutin (does horrible things to my belly but I keep eating it like an idiot). This is in an effort to feel better, possibley losing some weight (but I'm not holding my breath on that one)
I was doing good last week until some stress came along yesterday and I downed 2 sodas and pasta. I know not horrid but it wasn't pretty this morning. I haven't had candy in over a week so I should be good about that. I have been getting REALLy good at saying no at work. As a teacher there seems to be food around ALL the time!
pm edit one dog walk in the afternoon and one in the morning. | |

Foot feels like it is loosening up a bit.
and OMG my principal just came in here. I'm not telling any one but you guys cuz you won't tell and asking me a billion times. I have an interview next Tuesday with both principals in the district I'm working. They are thinking 1st or 2nd grade. Which doesn't make me super happy b/c I would like a higher grade level. But I keep getting the lower grades (student teaching, the job I have now) so I guess at some point it is meant to be.

45 min on elliptical. I konked out early last night for a glorious 9 hours of sleep. Wearing my Merrels all day today. My foot still feels like poopy. People keep talking about orthodics to me and I'm just not gonna do that. Or inserts. I'm trying to go the barefoot route or atleast just regular shoes. Don't believe in them! The doc better have a better 'plan' for me. Btw this is day 6 of no glutin and no soda. Yesterday I had chocolate and some gummy bears. But I also didn't exercise. So I guess I have to exercise every day to keep those cravings at bay.

.8 mile walk. 20 minutes on ellip (had to get to work early today
I'm convinced that this heal thing is really my achilles. My boy dog has now hit it twice which results in some awful pain. I'm down for the count. | |
