Good Morning All!!

I think I'm actually getting the hang of this blogging thing. I signed on all by myself!! (I'm computer illiterate) Anyway, it's Saturday morning, I've had my quiet time, coffee, and peanut butter toast, and i'm waiting for my house to wake up. Gene and I are going for a bike ride this morning. I'm trying to keep my I.T. band in my leg stretched out and strong. For those who don't know, I stressed my I.T. band when i ran the 1/2 marathon in April. I trained too fast and did not stretch as much as I should have, so I ended up with chronic pain in my left leg. Oh well, I would do it again. You're only 40 for one year and that's why I wanted to run it. Since then I have not been able to run over 2 miles before the pain started, the more I ran, the worse the pain got. I went to an ortho. doctor and he said running is bad for your knees.(I paid how much for him to tell me something I already knew!!!) Anyway, I went to physical therapy for a month and have gradually increased my running. I ran 3 miles with no pain last week!!! I love to run!!! I hope to run the 1/2 marathon until I'm 75. We'll see.
My hubby is finally awake so I guess I'll go get dressed for our bike ride.
Love to all!!!
