I promise I haven't forgot about my blog but I have been soo busy and when I am not busy I have been suffering from severe sinus issues. I even went so far as to use that thing called the, "neti pot" which you poor through one nostril and it comes out the other nostril. Crazy I know but it works and for the first time in a couple of days I felt actual freedom to breathe in through my nose and out if I chose. Oh it is the simple things in life that make me happy. This neti pot apparently cleans out your sinuses and helps to irrigate so to speak and I am hooked. I originally laughed at my mom when she bought it for me but Mom's know what they are talking about apparently. So thank you Mom you are a lifesaver once again. :)
So back to training. Like I have expressed I have been having some real problems with the left knee which has sidelined me for a bit. I have been walking the normal protocol that relates to my training schedule but I have decided to get back to the gym to train on machines that are less impacting on my knees until I can build up to running. My lovely cousin Joni went to a Dr. in Fresno that works on Fresno State athletes while training for her triathalon who told her to work out in the gym on the machines due to the minimal impact. She did and she got up to running 16 miles at a time and she finished her marathon. I am so proud of her and she actually is the one who inspired me to complete this marathon. I have now lost 7 pounds so that has to say something as far as my training goes. I guess I am bummed because I haven't been able to run so I guess I feel like a poser right now. BUT, I am proud that I have still been out there pounding the pavement.
Yesterday I didn't make it to training due to Valentine's Day. Neal and I spent it together and planned out this weeks strategy and my gym expedition. Hope you had a great day. Neal and I don't believe in days like Valentine's Day because you should love the one your with everyday. Every day should be a Valentine's Day right (insert rolling eyes). Love you all!
