Race Week

I can't believe it......4 days! That's right! There are only 4 days left until I run my FIRST 1/2 marathon! I still can't believe it! I've been keeping with my training in the last 2 weeks, missing a day or so, but nothing more than one in a row. My knee was really bothering me during my last two long runs. I think that is why I could only do the 10.5 instead of the full 11. And the week I did 12, my right shoe was tied too tight, which kept my mind off my knee. I've been going to the chiropractor for the last 4 days and have had 3 treatments and 3 ultrasound therapies on my knee. I will have one more done Friday afternoon before we leave and I'm sure I'll be coming in first thing Monday morning. My shins have been sore for about the past 4 days also. I think my body is getting tired of all the mileage I'm putting on it! I will definitely scale back when the race is over, but continue with workouts of some sort.

On May 11, I go back to see the leg doctor and he will inject the foam into the remaining vericose veins I have left. I'm unsure how many treatments I will have of the foam total, I'd guess more than one. I'm also unsure if I will be on walking and weight restrictions following the foam injections. I will find out soon!

Tomorrow will be my final session training as a weight watchers receptionist. I honestly have no idea what will be next for me. I assume the territory manager will be notifying me of where I will be and when. I love working for WW! I also love have a "job". I haven't had a "job" in about 12 years (being a stay-at-home-mom since my first child in 1998) and love doing adult things with adults! It's GREAT! I've missed it!

As far as my weight, that should be a complete seperate post! :-( (More on this later.) I will say for now, at my last weigh-in (for March) I was just at the maximum allowance for the a lifetime member. Following that was spring break for 10 days and I think the kicker for the last four weeks is that I've been training during the meetings and not listening or taking in the information that has been so VERY helpful in my weightloss in the past. So, with that said, my weight has creeped up PAST the allowance for a lifetime member. Funny thing is, as an employee of WW you do NOT have to be within two pounds of your "goal". Employees only need to be in the "healthy range" in the WW pocket guide. Anywho, I do need to find a way to GET BACK TO GOAL!!!!!!
