and my kids cheered me on and told me I'm doing a good job

daughter was funny...she said I am getting skinnier already lol

they both said they were proud of me

kids are so cool

and apparently I need to exercise in front of them much more often because it was an event lol

nice way to ease into aerobic exercise again without hurting myself

they were cracking me up

my daughter kepts say: YOU'RE DOING IT, MAMA! YOU'RE DOING IT! GOOD JOB!

lol

Now when they grow up, I've heard all bets are off! LOL!

I like exercising...just have had a hard time figuring out how to squeeze in the time

now they will clear the way so Mama won't trip over them lol

well, the coffee probably helped too

JUST SAYIN'

Felt good.

I was a workout machine for quite some time, there... then my f***ing foot started in again.

Need another cortisone shot. Doc says I need to do something other than running, but running is what keeps me fit, dammit.

MACS have you tried ellipticals? pretty low impact, my feet and knees feel fine after an hour rather than throbbing after running for only 30 minutes.

But... they don't really make me tired. I get tired when I run. I sweat a lot, too. Not so with the low impact stuff, even when I jack up the intensity. Not as much as running, anyway.

I like to run and I don't really hurt afterward, it's just the damn tendon in my left foot. It sucks.

The pain is there because the tendon is inflamed. It is inflamed because I ran too much and it was stretching and retracting continually.

I've had 2 cortisone shots in that foot. First one helped, 2nd one got it. BUT - the podiatrist told me that once it happens, you are prone to it and that I should do another type of cardio because running was going to make it return, eventually. He was right.

Cortisone shots are not good for you, long term, as they weaken the tendons and ligaments. Awesome short term, though.
