Crippled

Well, I'm not quite crippled. As long as I stay moving, I'm okay. If I sit down for more than a minute, then there is a very good chance that I won't get back up. Yesterday, I walked (I walked because I could hardly put weight on my knees, let alone the impact of running) 2+ miles in the morning, most of it hills. Daddy wasn't satisfied. After dinner (a meal I won't bore you with the details), Daddy decided that I needed to run. Pain and all. So off we went.

In 3 days, I have doubled the distance that I could run without dying. Although, I came really close to the dying part. I have also shaved 12 of 15 minutes off of my total time needed for the minium training goal. The first time we did the distance in 30 minutes; he took it easy on me. Day 2, we shaved 10 minutes off the time, doing the same distance in 20 minutes.... that time was along the country road we live on vs. the track at the middle school. I would rather run my street than the track... you never really make any progress running around in a circle, and it's boring. Last night, despite the pain, we ran double the distance in 18 minutes. If only I could take Daddy with me.... he seems to be good at getting me moving ( a lot farther than I think I can go). After the picnic that we are going to today, I will be going once again.

I finally managed to get some info about the training that I am going through. It won't be like boot camp. We will have our evenings and weekends to ourselves. And, it looks like the laptop will be accompanying me. Hopefully our rooms will have internet service, or there will be a computer lab, or internet cafe in the area that I'll be able to use to update my site. It at least looks that way now.

Well, now I am going to attempt to get out of my chair and get ready to go to this picnic.... It should only take me 15 or 20 minutes to get up. See ya next time.
