I've been so tired lately--too tired to blog or twitter or facebook! A couple of weeks ago I had an allergic reaction to what might have been a spider bite. So gross. Steroids and antibiotics and I'm all better now, but my leg was swollen and painfully itchy for a while. Coming back from my parents' house after a week's rest was tough, but I actually started running there on the flat terrain and really enjoyed it. When I came back it was harder to get motivated to run again until I realized that I've probably put on a good 15 pounds from not running, and not all of it muscle. Yikes.
I started run-walking a few weeks ago and have been getting in at least 3 run-walks a week, which was my goal. The other days I'm still walking, trying to rest at least one day (so tough for me). I feel better for the most part except being tired. Time to check those iron levels. Last night I had the worse restless leg-type of sensations in my legs and feet. It was unbearable. Not sure what's going on with that.
I'm looking forward to the 4th of July 5k coming up. I didn't register in case I chicken out. So sad that I went from running a 5k 2 or 3 times a month (and winning at least 3rd or 2nd in my age group!) to this.
