Friday is here again! Woo hoo
This was a HARD week. Every project I have been working on here has hit a brick wall, (ok, not just me, for my whole group!). Everybody in my circle is sick or has a sick relative, its been bad. My sister Jodi (Mush...from my first post) was admitted to Beth Israel on Monday with pneumonia and possible TB(!!!!), my nanny has been dealing w/terrible asthma and heart palpitations, my husband's family's dearest "matron" relative was in the hospital for a blood clot in her leg, and now we are told she has cancer, and my best friend's mom is STILL in the hospital trying to get off the ventilator. Oh yea, and both my kids have this weird fever thing on..its been rough week.
On a more positive note, I ran a race. I am not a runner, I am an elliptical trainer person, no impact, nice fluid motion. Running always knocks the crap out of me, and I usually avoid it all costs. But this year, when the JP Chase Corporate Challenge emails started flying at work, I decided to sign up. For a few weeks before I started running a bit on the treadnill, but it was killing me, so I stopped. Then Tuesday night, race night...uh oh! But I did it, I ran all 3.5 miles in 95+ degree weather, in 41 minutes! My only goal in this thing was to finish, and try to at least do a 12 minute mile, and I did, I ran, and beat the 42 minutes that I was targeting. But oh man, have I been paying for this. I have to walk downstairs sideways, and I have a constant stitch in my side. Today is the first day when I don't hold on to my desk when I stand up from my chair!
I am going to continue running I think... I say this now, but we will see. I can see why people get hooked on it. Now if I can just get rid of all the charleyhorses before I get back on the treadmill, or try to run on pavement again!
Time to get the hell out of Dodge
