Fast Running Mommy

Stopped a little bit short today because I felt done....listen to your body I say..especially when you have 6 and 1/2 kids and a migraine. 

Funny thing..saying that 6 and 1/2 felt good. I've been having issues saying I had 6 children ....it just didn't feel right. I think 6 and 1/2 is accurate. I'm not talking about Sasha...He has 6 and 1/2 children too but his extra burden is in himself and my extra burden is in me. We had a lesson yesterday about gossiping. I've had some experience with this as I'm sure most of you have out there. I think I'm finally done with it...or at least I've decided to make a more conscious effort to really not be the person to make another's fault known as the song "Nay speak no ill" counsels us. I think as I look at my patterns of behavior I'm going to find I've got some long overdue spring cleaning in that area.   

Felt pretty good today. Lovely Luz diagnosed my leg as similar to the hip problem she has been having. She was gracious enough to share all her hard earned knowledge about stretching that group of muscles and ligaments. I really don't know how Billy Bubbles feels about that. We'll have to take it up with my main man and see if he will hold the baby while I stretch.

I'm not giving in and calling myself injured just yet....not just yet. I'm going to take a day off today and hopefully tomorrow will look a bit better. I tried hanging upside down to see if my leg pain was caused by a back problem (Sasha's idea) miraculously it worked ....until I ran on it...now it hurts to move at all...but I'm not admitting to me down yet.

we'll see what tomorrow brings 

A day off and some hanging upside down on our inversion table seems to have done the trick....no pain to speak of today....a few twinges here and there and I just stopped to walk a couple of times to baby it. I don't know if I'll have time to run anymore today. I may get on our stationary bike some....the kids liked it when I was sitting there pedaling the bike on the back porch. I think they like it when I'm outside with them. 

I think my thyroid has started to work better because I'm sleepy in the middle of the night again. yay for modern medicine. My friend keeps telling me that her sister-in-law cured her hypothyroidism on a raw diet after a few weeks. Hmm....I'm still thinking about that one.  

I've been able to run 2 miles the last couple of days with no pain. I'd say that is amazing!! I have been in pain with this for about a month or more. It just wasn't a priority so I kept ignoring it to deal with sick children and other more pressing matters....like "what's for dinner?"  It is truly amazing to me that the inversion table worked so quickly. Just a few minutes a day and the injury improved significantly....do I sound like an infomercial? Well, I'm not trying to sell you anything...really. But I am really excited that I don't have to pay $5,000 for a year of chriopractic again.
