Losin it in Paradise

I have no idea what that means, but it sounded nice :)  Enshrined

Well the shin splints have healed and I am up for running again tomorrow evening.  I will do the ice and Motrin again in the am when off work and then do a good bike ride before I run to loosen up the muscles, then have a run again.

Been doing a lot of reading regarding running, and I think I got shin splints for two reasons:  1.  over did it  and 2.   my form is wrong, I land on my heels and that causes an abrupt brake and put a load of stress on the legs, so I really have to work on my form.  Believe it or not running is not natural for humans

And another trick is to ice right after a run before the muscles have a chance to be sore…..

Busy weekend, OMG, I am sick of this place right now.  I really need a day off :)  And lucky me, I get Monday!  I then work Tues, off Weds and then teach ACLS on Thursday and Friday and then after I finish teaching on Friday, I work nights…..I am tired already

I am so glad Father’s Day is over.  I always find it a hard day.  First is the job of finding a card to send to my dad that will just say, “Hi have a good day”  instead of all the ones that say what a wonderful dad you are…..cause he isn’t…never has been.    I don’t know why I still buy him one, probably cause even after everything he is my dad, and I don’t want to hurt him.  Even after all the pain he has caused me…..go figure.

Diet went totally to hell in a hand basket this weekend.  I had cravings for junk food.  Ate microwave popcorn, chocolate….and even had a soda.  Blew my points right out of the water last night.  I am not suppose to have popcorn, chocolate or soda….WTF……  Lets just say that my poor gut can now put an end to the gas crisis….!!  If I had rollerblades on, I would be self propelled…..GOSH!

Now where did I put the Febreze……..
