Things are coming. :)

Well this morning I drove my bike to the running clinic and then biked with the clinic on their 8 km run.  It was a beautiful day out and just perfect for everyone.  I had no pain or any issues what so ever so it went really well for me.  When I got home I stretched a bit and still no pain so I thought I would try a 15 mins brisk walk for the first time.  I did it!!!  I did not break a sweat or anything and it felt a bit awkward at the start, which was to be expected, but things worked out and I felt it was safe to continue.  I just finished stretching a bit again and had to take a break and share my good news. :)  After my post I will go back and do all my physio stuff.

Tomorrow I will try to walk again and will continue until things feel good right from the start, and in a couple of days... maybe I can try my 1 min of running every so often as my program states. :)  SO HAPPY here. lol

The rest of the group had a really good run and things are getting easier for them.  There were only two that had some issues (self inflicted) and listened to my advice and I biked while I took them walking back to the store.  Even my not so fast paced person today had a wonderful day!

Last night, well all day yesterday, I had a craving for taco chips and a taco salad... I think I am going to blame this one on two things... one: at the one school I was at we had taco salad for lunch, two: I read a post about tostatos lol (won't mention any names) :)  So yesterday I bought some taco chips and some salad stuff for a salad.  In the mean time... the chips were nibbled on. lol  Just could resist.  I did make sure though that I used low fat sour cream and a low sodium seasoning mix for the beef and rinsed the beef well after browning.  I even made sure that I did not use to much cheese.  So, all in all, it could have been worse. :)  

Tonight my son and I are going to make chicken curry with cous cous.  The sodium will be a bit high again but it is a home cooked meal and portions will be watched.  Usually on Sundays, I do not worry too overly much about what food I eat because of all the running but right now there is not too overly much going on.

Well, I hope the weather has improved for all and you are out there enjoying it some.

Cheers!
