Today!

No.  I did not run on Saturday. But I did run on Sunday.  The weather was perfect.  The run wasn't too difficult. I re-started the run for weight loss program to Back to W1D1. After returning home, I had to rush and change for a Pilates sculpt and stretch class.This was the first time with this particular instructor and she was great. I think I've tried them all now and some are definitely better than others. Now I'm sufficiently pooped.

 

Tomorrow?

I may be well enough to run and the weather maybe cool enough.  Will I? Won't I?  No one knows. I need perfect conditions. 

Cake

Baking lessons for other non-bakers:

1. don't volunteer to make a cake for someone's baby shower if you've only ever made one cake in your life
2. if you do, make that same cake so you are at least a little familiar with it
3. don't choose one that you need to buy new pans for and an array of other ingredients you'll never use again
4. check the weather!
5. Don't make cream cheese frosting if it's too hot and the host's apartment has no air conditioning
6. don't have visions of grandeur like ombré frosting
7. if you suspect your butter and sugar aren't coming to together properly, they are not
8. buy at least dozen eggs if the recipe calls for just 4 egg whites
9. have a working dishwaher
10. even if the cake doesn't turn out perfect or how you envisioned, every one will gobble it up and be grateful you took the time and put in the work
    

Toe No Part Deux

Just when one toe is healing another has a problem.  Not going to get into it but my doctor prescribed a cream to put on it.  I checked out how much it was going to cost and it ws over $53!!!  So I emailed the doctor telling her surely there must be a less expensive something?!  She said she didn't know but also called in the same thing but in ointment form.  Well lo and behold, that prescription came out to be...wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...$1.11 !!!!  Yes. one stupid dollar vs 53 non stupid dollars. Lesson: always ask your doctor for alternatives if a drug seems too expensive. 

Toe No

The toe is still not great but it is getting better.  Today was the best day yet.  This means more fun running musings are right around the corner. Something to look forward to!

ps.  i know peter is holding his knee. but i can do what i want on this blog.  MINE!

Broken

My running has suffered!  And now i have a broken toe.  and a broken tooth.  i'm broken.  Time to rebuild the machine (that one is for Matt).  Sorry for the inside joke dear readers.  Maybe one day you too will be honored with an inside joke in the ol' blog.

Golden rules

I went to see Dr Golden and I am just continuing PT.  Build the core stronger and the sciatica is supposed to go away so that's what i am doing.  Ignoring any pain (except it it is extreme and can't move). So i am back getting my massages and pilates for another 6 weeks or so.  Also stepping up the pilates classes.  I wish i wasn't too lazy to run but i am currently.  Im trying not to feel depressed about life but i am.  i'm not having an easy time with any aspect of my life.  i dont know how to fix.
