Meds

Pain medication has helped a little bit.  I am tired.  The meds are doing that.  

I ate chinese yesterday.  I stretched yesterday and today.  I will walk a short distance today.

Sacriolic Pain

Well, I went to the doctor's yesterday.  I have had lower back pain for months.  Well, I found out what that was, and it is drum roll please....Sacroiliac Pain.  I injured my tail bone and a few bones above it.

I injured myself during child birth.  Fun.  I thought when I started training that I was doing the right stretches.  Boy, I was wrong.  Some helped but others made my injury irritated.  

At least this pain in my butt can go away with proper stretching and physical therapy.  I know that if it does not the Doctor will have to explore other options or even surgery.  YUK!  

He said I can keep training so I will.  Disney Marathon here I come.

Business

Today, I will be getting family business done.  At least immediate family, I don't interact with my extended family unless it is through e-mail and then I know I am writing the information to people who don't write back.  I hope they appreciate what I do trying to keep up with them or at least tell them what my family is up too.  Maybe the family is right I write to them for myself.  But that never made much sense to me, since they are family, and doesn't family want to know me?.

Okay, that read a bit bitter.  

I have made an attempt to get to know members of my family over the years.  My parents had little contact with people because we lived in Alaska for years.  The distance does not make for a close family.  

I will walk to the bank today.  I will stretch and complete my training for today.  

Yesterday I ate pizza, I am disappointed with that weakness but I love pizza.

Sore back

I have to go to the doctor's office Tuesday,  my back hurts.  I have been training by stretching every day.  

This weekend we had barbecue, very tasty potato salad that I made, and no ice cream!  That was the first time for me every going with out ice cream.  And I love ice cream!  Of course the non-sugar ice cream is the only kind I can have.

I am walking everyday now.

I have not stretched for days.

I feel very stiff.  I had to organize and reschedule myself.  Now that the chaos is over I feel stiff and unmotivated.  Hopefully this feeling goes away.  

Training needs to get moved into high gear.  The first  walk I want to do is in November.  

I had coffee and two pieces of toast.    

Marathon training upt

Went for a nice walk yesterday and signed my son up for baseball.  My son is now a home school child.  He was in public school but well we had some issues.  

He will be walking and training for the half marathon with me.  I am happy to teach him how to train for a marathon while I train.

Training and Resting

My son's birthday was last week and we had a couple of his friends over.  He had a blast.  The party started friday and lasted until Sunday.  This meant no blogging or training for me.  I rested.

Alas, it ended and I have to get back into my routine.  I drank juice yesterday and felt awful.  I also have not gotten much sleep.

I am going for a long walk today.  I am hoping to go five miles today!
