1st Run!

Last night I went for my first walk run since June! My physical therapist had me walk run one mile on the track. Walking the curves and running the straights. While I was running there was no pain. It felt strange having to lift my legs in a running motion. It didn't feel like my upper and lower body was working together, but it was pain free. When I woke up this morning the first few steps I felt a little strain in my shin, but not painful. I have physical therapy tomorrow so I'll see what they say and if I can continue! :)

Moving...again

So this weekend we're moving!!!! I talked to the builder today and we got the CO. Was REALLY nervous about that. But everything seems to be on track with it.
The current crappy place is still crappy. The water stinks and the health department found colifom in the water but no E Coli. Little suspicious to me. Either way we're almost done with it! :)
My legs are feeling pretty good. I tried to star the walk run program last week but it hurt so I'm giving it another week of rest. So we'll see! :)

Off to a good start

This week is off to a good start so far. We went to Philly over the weekend and had blast. On Saturday night we saw Maroon 5 with Aunt Molly, Molly, Michael, and his girlfriend Krista. I think between me and aunt molly we took about 500 pictures. It was just the relaxing time Dan and I needed though!
Yesterday I got my orthopedic inserts for my shoes. They feel great! I went for a walk today all the way up to Bebe lake and walked around it no pain. I've been pretty pain free for about a week now. That means I'm going to be able to start running by the end of the week!!!! :)
The health department is coming out to the house in the morning to test the water and look at the well. We've told the landlords that we're going to take them up on their offer to move out, but they're still not going to give us our security deposit back. I just want out and then we can take them to small claims court. Especially if the health department says that no one can live there. We signed a lease on another place. It's back in Ithaca, but not down town. So Dan has to go back to long drive again and I'm not sure about my commute yet. The good part is that it's a brand new construction. Hopefully it'll be worry free!

Next Week!

So my physical therapy went really well today! I got to use the balance pad and did everything on one leg with no pain. So hopefully next week I'll be able to start running again! :)

Half Way!

With all the stress of everything else in my life I've be a little to passive about my fundraising. Happily I'm half way!!! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. If you know of anyone else who would value supporting an organization like A Running Start or someone who would like to support me, please pass on this link.

Moving

Apparently since we would like clean drinking water, we don't respect the house. Our landlords have asked us to move by September 1...Which is fine, but stressful. So now I have to start all over again finding a place to live and moving!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

not getting better

We got the water test back from the house. The one that the landlord said we didn't need. There is E coli in the water...
I had a doctor's appointment last week and the doctor said was obese and I need to lose weight. So basically nothing is going so well...
