I had a baby six months ago, then I had two surgeries and my son had one surgery. I started exercising again in late March or early April. First, I got shin splints. Now I'm dealing with plantar fascilitis. Today, my baby and I got hit by a car while out on our morning walk. Seriously?

OM Gosh! I hope you two are okay!! Sounds like you've had many obsticles but at least you keep on doing it. That says a lot!

Ohy goodness. I hope you're both OK.

You know, sometimes it seems that way to me, too. I've had 3 knee injuries, 1 knee surgery, 2 rotator cuff strains, and then the latest, when an elliptical threw me off of it into a wall and I bruised the bone on my shoulderblade.

I prefer to think of it as God telling me I need to start cross training and finding new, exciting ways to work around my injuries!

OK, maybe even I'm not that optimistic But I TRY to think that way, even if I fail.

Oh!!! How terrible! I take it your ok since youre writing this? Poor baby was probaly terrified! Glad you are ok.....

If I believed in God, I would say that god is punishing you...but I don't, so I don't think god is punishing you.

First, I'm sorry to hear about the bad luck you've had...ouch, and hope you're okay after getting hit by a car. I was thinking, maybe you're being too hard on yourself. If you're first day and you try to run 3 miles. Why not start with, I'm going walk half a mile. And maybe running isn't for you...maybe try something with less impact like swimming. I think because you keep getting hurt, you're giving up. But don't let it get you down...keep going. bad luck will pass.

It's not God, its Satan that doesn't want you taking care of yourself.

I hope you are both OK. I like the way Amanda thinks - these setbacks are a challenge to your creativity!

You CAN keep exercising - one way or another!

Take care of yourself and that new baby!

I will agree to that one!

Hang in there and I do hope you and your baby are okay!

Thanks everyone! I really need support, and you guys have been great for that. Thanks for putting a smile on my face and making me laugh a little. Also, baby and I are fine, just a little traumatized (and sore).

Manda - YIKES!

Manda take care of you and your cute baby ...

I agree with the other posters, it's jut another blimp in the road, keep on keeping on...

I'm so sorry!! No matter what, know that you can do anything you put your mind to. Stay positive, don't let obstacles get you down!
