From Park to 1st gear.

Day 92 and 55 more to go….

Last week, was quite a week. Well okay, the last week and half really.
Ever since the "Wine Bottle Incident" I have been quite the klutzy person,
I have even said I should live in a bubble till my race.

I know I already talked about Vanessa's race day, but what I failed to mention was that I fell. Seriously too.

I fell in the bleachers near the finish line, and everyone saw me.It was quite the embarrassing and painful moment. But that was HER day, so mum was the word.

I was leaving the bleachers just after my sister had crossed the finish line, and somehow (I don't really know why) I was all the sudden falling backwards.

I ended up landing in between two rows of metal bleachers and bruising my left hip and tailbone. I jarred my spine all the way up, to my neck. I am really sore, and still wince when I sit in my car. My legs/hips are really tight when I wake up in the mornings. But hey all this drama and self sabotage took away from the toe issue.

All this means a few more trips to see Dr Maloney, but I know that with weekly visits between now & the big race all will be better..It just HAS to be....

Now having come clean, this is why I have not been out pounding the pavement.

Finally getting past the ankle/shin issue and then it was back to park for a while. I was major bummed..
Despite it all , I drug my machinery into drive mode and got in 5 miles on my elliptical last week. 

My toe is feeling better, thank goodness and I can get through tight hips/legs with the help of lots of stretching and Dr Maloney. This week my car goes from park to 1st gear again.  Wish me luck..

Only 55 more days!
