Well, what did Mark tell us to do FIRST THING? Go to Fleet Feet and get shoes. I promise that I've been meaning to go since my boss told me to go a month and 1/2 ago, but have I? No. Why? No good reason. Didn't get around to it, or some dumb excuse. Now what? My knees are hurting, badly. It hurts to stand, to walk, and I didn't even think about running this morning. I did walk for 2 miles on the treadmill though so that didn't help. Right now it hurts even to sit at my desk. I am very mad at myself and can only blame myself. So I am going to take tomorrow off and do nothing and feel mad at myself for having to do that, and then Wed I'll XT (I have this Joanie Greggains workout VHS tape from 1984, no kidding, that works arms, abs, legs and butts) and I'll go to Fleet Feet Wednesday night so I can get shoes and hopefully at least walk on Thursday. If you haven't gotten your shoes yet, PLEASE GO!!! Learn from my mistake and don't hurt yourself like I did. Other than my own stupidity and stubbornness, I am doing well otherwise.
Saturday was fun, though for some reason I hate the running while I'm running. I got an inhaler and coughed only a little after the run. (Turns out I don't have asthma but I'm having bronchospasms from being out of shape. GO FIGURE!) My nose ran like a faucet again (I filled three kleenexes and had to stop 5 times to blow in 1.5 miles) so my boss ENT doc is going to give me Atrovent to try next week. (If these knees don't get better, there will be no next week.) My exhaustion has passed and my extreme hunger has levelled off and physically I feel damn good. Can I share these really personal things too with ya'll: Are you all experiencing an increase in libido and a regulation of, if not clockwork, digestive system cycle? No wonder people run!
Keep up the good work all! And get your shoes!!!!!

Hey Christa
I am glad you got your shoes, it will make a huge difference. Take care of your knees for the next couple of weeks. As far as system regularity, you could set your watch by my daily functions. I have not noticed an increase in libido but I am sure the xtra chemicals circulating can do that. Do not get discouraged; soon you will be running 4 miles alongside me. Keep the faith.

I haven't noticed the change in libido. but then again, I have 9 month old twins, and that could be the problem. LOL
Take care of your knees. You are going to love your new shoes. it's amazing what a big difference good shoes make.
With dolphins (endorphins) swimming in your head you never know what they stir up! Regularity? Oh yeah!
Ice those knees and take ibuprofen!!!
I hope your knees start to feel better soon. I had touble with mine a few years ago and after walking for several weeks and doing some strengthening exercises, they got stronger and have been fine. Hang in there and take it easy - we have time for speed later. Let your body get used to being out there first.
