Today I have felt very depleted. Still with sinus headaches intermittently and lots of head and chest drainage. I continue on my antibiotic and pseudophed. No exercise tonight. My heal has been aching today.......no rhyme or reason with this injury!!!

Rode outside over at SIGS while Jordie was in gymnastics. I rode for about 30 minutes +. Still with cough and head congestion but headache much better. L heel status quo.

Still fighting a headache and major drainage issues but hit the bike for 20 minutes this morning before work. I plan to do another 20 tonight, God willing.

Longggggg day! Physical therapy this morning, left work for appointment with MD @ 4:00pm......I have a full blown sinus infection with double ear infections.........started 10 days of Amoxil this evening. Didn't get home from work until 7:15. I'm going to hit the bike for a 20 minute workout before bed. I have never fully gotten rid of my headache today.......why me?!?!?
Why not?!?!?! Ha!

Miserable day fighting "The Virus".

Rode the bike for 25 minutes....still fighting this cold. On a better note....My L heel has been feeling pretty good once I get it stretched out in the morning! :)

Took JT to the MD yesterday but they said it was just a virus. I have been treating myself the same way I have her cold. Have felt pretty yucky...night sweats, sleepless nights, headaches and now I feel like my ears may be getting involved.

Woke up at midnight this morning with a terrible cold....had to sleep in the recliner. Congested head, cough, sore throat, headache..the whole 9 yards. Jordie has been suffering from the same thing since Sunday night.

I had a physical therapy appointment today. He did some deep heat ultrasound on my heel. This afternoon before I picked up Jordie I went to Cardio Club and rode the bike for 45 minutes.

Jim has fixed up his mountain bike for me and I rode outside at a steady, constant pace with the gears in position so that I had good resistance and never did any gliding, etc. I rode for 25 minutes.

Rest day.

Went to Cardio Club rode bike for 40 minutes with pretty difficult resistance. Just a couple of weeks to go.......I hope I make it!

Rode the bike for 30 minutes tonight.

Can you believe my L heel is aggravated by doing the eliptical machine yesterday?!? Oh well, I guess the bike is my only friend right now. Do to unforeseen delays, no physical therapy again until Tuesday. Hopefully then I will be on a pretty consistent schedule. I'll post back after my workout today....just enjoying the morning with Jim since he is off today.

Rode the bike for 30 minutes tonight.

Went to Cardio Club today while Jordie was doing gymnastics. Recumbent bike for 30 minutes -difficult, then eliptical for 10 minutes - pretty hard and then back to bike for another 15 minutes.
Felt real good.

Rode the bike before work this morning for 30minutes.

Dad and Jim really helped push me and get me through the discouragement last night. My plan is to continue with the bike, do my physical therapy, break in my new orthodics, stretch my feet and ice them down and rest them until Sept. 7th comes. Dad believes I'll be able to accomplish my goal just fine. I will continue to pray so!

On the bike for 30 minutes hard today.

Very bad day today. At my foot appointment my L heel was so sore and the doctor just barely push on my heel and the pain was extreme. He gave me another cortisone shot and ordered me to start physical therapy 3x week for 4 weeks. No more walking for exercise. I feel so overwhelmed with my trip just dangling 3 1/2 weeks away.

Headache still alittle there but able to ride for 30minutes and walk 1/2 mile this am. L heel is tender today.
Still feel like body is changing but really can't see anything from the scale. I did find some old measurements. I think I'll remeasure for hopefully some added encouragement! I'll let ya know.

8/8 - 8/9

Suffered with terrible R sided headache and sinus pain. No exercise. My L heel has been more sore and tender. Very discouraged!!

Rode bike 35 minutes and walked for a brisk 1/2 mile. Really couldn't feel any discomfort in L heel! yeah!

Rode bike 35 minutes, walked outside 1/2 mile.

Walked a 1/2 mi. this morning and came in and iced my heel down. I guess it will take a few days to see how it is going to do. Since that's the case, I would love to go do all my 1/2 mi. on the hill at Charlestown......I might just have to talk to my hubby about that!

I am going now to hit the bike then the showers before work!

Worked out in the yard today with Jimmy, rode the bike and walked about 1/2 mile tonight. Heel feels OK and I am about to turn in for the night.

Bought some hiking pants and sports sandals tonight for my trip. Getting very excited!
I just need to steadily increase my walking and I'd like to do another Knobstone before we head out. Body is feeling still yet different....another 7lbs would be lovely. :)

Rode the bike today....having some arthritic pain tonight in my R knee and right lower leg....iced them down when I was icing my Left heel.

Went to get feet retaped today. Took the day off. My orthodics might be in next week!! Left heel still feel like a bee sting......but has it's good moments. Friday I am going to try to start walking a half a mile a day and keep up the bike of coarse. Too bad I can't get another cortizone injection before we head out West. I won't be due until October. :(
