Random Thoughts Thursday

• Very true!  We need to stop being so judgemental.  No one is perfect.

• Not running has actually been going OK.  I have a meniscus injury and haven’t run since Sunday.  It is better and am planning to run again on Monday.  Since I am in a StepBet Challenge, I have been doing a lot of waking in the evening.  It is actually going well and I’ve been enjoying my walks.  Today I did 18,645 steps.  Since Monday I’ve done 65,092 steps.  Yikes!  

 • You know how much I love my cat.  I ordered a 2019 calendar from Walgreens full of Lola pictures.  🙂  I am definitely a crazy cat lady, right?

  • I do not remember the last time gas was this cheap.

  • You know I am OBSESSED with Tieks.  Got these on Monday.  I also ordered Ruby Red and I’d bet those will look pretty for the holidays.

Goodbye November and Hello December!

Hello December.jpg

November clearly just flew by.  It was a great birthday month.  I had few days off for Thanksgiving break which was wonderful.  However, I did get sick one weekend and spent two days on the sofa.  I felt better on Monday and went to work but still had a cough that lasted about 4 days.  I was constantly tired.  I couldn’t get up early in the morning to run because I was so tired and just wanted to sleep.  So I didn’t run.  It was until a week later that I finally felt better enough to run.  I did 2 miles and it felt tough.

About 2 weeks ago I started feeling some pain on the right side of my left knee.  I thought it would get better so I kept running.  It didn’t get better.  I went to the chiropractor and he told me I have a meniscus injury and not to run for a week.

• Ran 54.14 miles.  It was a slow month for me.  Getting sick really took a toll on me.  I thought that this was the lowest month but it isn’t.  The winner is May with 49.44 miles.  As of December 3rd, I am now 84% done of my yearly goal.  There are 28 days left in 2018 and I still need to run 185 miles to achieve my goal.  Yeah, definitely NOT happening.  🙂

2018 Goal

• Total time running was 11:03:24.

• Despite it being a slow month, I still had some great runs.

• 13 days of running.  In May it was 12 days.

• No races for me.  I was supposed to run the RnR Savannah but then last minute couldn’t make it.  I am planning my races for 2019 and have a few in mind such as the Garmin Half Marathon (KS) and the Missoula Half Marathon (MT).

• Final Thoughts:  It was a slow month for me.  It started off good but then got sick which affected me more than I was expecting it to.  Now this injury happened and I am back to resting and no running.
