Anyways...I'm still walking my little butt off and keeping my fingers crossed for the day that I can run again! Keifer and I went out for a 2 mile walk this morning. I was intending on doing 4 miles, but I didn't get home until late last night. Eric's neighbors invited us over for dinner, which was delicious. They were a very nice, retired couple and very gracious to have us over for a wonderful meal.
I went to the running store on Sunday to have someone check that I am in the correct type of shoes. The employee watched me run for not even 3 seconds before she said, "Oh yeah, you're fine!". So, I left the running store with one of these bad boys:
It's a flotation belt that old ladies wear during aquaaerobics....and, I have found out from various websites I've been reading, it's also a flotation device for people who want to run in the water for rehab and cardio purposes. So, I purchased one, and come Memorial Day, I will be buying a membership to the Blue Ash Rec Center and I'm going to give this bad boy a spin. I've read that it is super boring, but it does the trick. And it this point, since I am unable to run, I'll try anything!
Basically, you just run in the water. You don't really go anywhere, but it's a good workout. We'll see how it goes.
The plan for today is to go to work, which is going to be another super boring day because we're doing school-wide assessments....basically I am doing short assessments over and over again with different kids. It's mind-numbing and extremely tiring. After work I'm planning on getting a bike ride in (who knows how long) and taking Keifer to the dog park. I don't want to have to look at this all afternoon:
"Play with me, Mom!"
