I know that my blogging has been light over the past few weeks, not much in the mood lately. I have been in a horrible mood lately. Overwhelmed, depressed and just plan down in the dumps the last couple of weeks. With my training on hold for another couple of weeks and Doug being out of town for the work week I have been pretty bummed.

I have been frustrated with my feet and my training. After my insoles left my feet in serve pain upon the completion of my 10.5 mile walk my insoles were sent back to the factory and resoled with a different cushion for better support. I am happy to report that they arrived today. I tested them out and they feel great so far, I will be breaking them in over the next few days and will be able to do my 6 miles on Saturday with them. I am trying to be excited but I have had so many dissapointments throughout my trials with my feet that I am begining to feel that there is little hope for them. I know I can finish the 13.1 miles for the Rock and Roll however I am becoming hooked on the marathon idea and I would really like to complete a complete marathon as well. I am just hoping that this will accually be a possiblity with my feet.

Doug being gone has been really hard on me. It pretty much sucks, with me getting off work late picking the girls up on the way home then doing dinner, dishes, PJ, snack, books and bed alone just makes for a long night and a later bed time that usual. It's doing things alone that is the hard part it is going to bed alone that is the hard part, not having him in the house just to talk to when ever I want to is the hard part. Not getting to kiss hug and just smile at is the hard part. :( We have another week of this next week and the again later down the road for a different phase of the building.

10.5 miles baby!!

I offically completed 10.5 miles on Saturday!!!!!! The walk was very difficult, I am still breaking in my insoles and I had not seen Karen to have her work on my feet in 2 weeks but I did it. I have much to do tonight to prep for a week of playing single mom (Doug will be out of town for work) so I will blog the details later :)

Insoles!!!

The last week has been consumed with breaking in my insoles. Which has consisted of many ups and downs. They are a major correction to my posture and stride which my body is having to adjust to. Saturday's walk went pretty good, I walked 4 miles in the insoles ans switched them out for the standard insoles I have been using and walked 2 miles, in which my toes instandly went numb and I got hot spots as well. I stopped at a the bathrooms with my new walking buddy and I had to switch the insoles back out I couldn't stand the old ones anymore. The remainder of the walk went well. Angelica and I chatted away during our walk about our week, the chatting was much less of a struggle than the week before, I still miss my Jenn though :( !! I had asked Karen if I could/should have our Massage Therapy person work on me after our walk, (she said it would be good for me), so I had the MT work on my gluets and upper legs since they were not pleased with my walk. He made a huge improvement in the way I felt Sat afternoon and on Sunday!

My shorter walks over this week have proved to be the trouble ones, my hip is poping my kwee hurts and I have found that I have been wipping my right foot around to compinasite for my knee and my meditarsal issues as well. With Karen's and Stephanie's help we have set up a new PT regiment. I will also be taking this Saturday walk off (or at least a shorter walk) to give my body a little longer to adjust and figure out their new stride.

I can;t beileve that the big day is 7 weeks away. I am getting really really excited!! speaking of the big day I am only $200 away from my goal so if were planning on donating and just haven't had a chance it's not to late!! please stop by my site http://pages.teamintraining.org/sd/rnr09/dclark6poc.

I will be spending today packing for the cabin, we are leaving tonight and I have to make sure the Easter Bunny is ready to visit, which he might be doing in the SNOW!!!

I hope you all have a very HAPPY EASTER!!!!
