Good job sticking with the KM! I hope it's not doing any damage to you joints. ???

hi erika!
no damage to the joints. still as bad as they were when i first started i suppose! i guess i am just feeling more exhausted with the hubby out of town at training and 3 gremlins on summer vacation and trying to prep for test at the same time is overwhelming. this humidity drains me and hurts my joints so much. this past week my hands have felt like they are full of fluid about to burst with pressure.
good job on the swimming erika!!

i think sometimes people forget how much "just inflammation" can hurt......

I have done absolutely zero exercise today and I'm not planning on doing any. I'm in a crabby mood and nothing is motivating me to move. So there.

I'm sure I'll regret this decision tomorrow morning when I wake up stiffer than usual.

Hmmm... well, maybe I'll go tread water in our condo pool later. I'll let you know what happens.

Erika,

Ditto ditto round the board. Wake up and have to slowly move my hands, spine, neck, knees, feet etc. Just so sick of it too. I ate really carefully the last two days just so I could take my cub scouts to day camp today. Had to have another leader drive my SUV to transport them all. Then the other leader had to carry my lawn chair and set it up and take it down for me all day. Why do I even try? Tonight went to a barbecue and ate a hamburger ON A freakin' BUN because I was just so ticked off at life. Curse you evil spondymonster.

It makes me feel better to co-miserate. What would I do without this place?

**Walked 2 miles (felt like 80) taking cub scouts all around stations at day camp today. I have the burned forehead and swollen toes to prove it.**

Today's run 6.29 miles 1 hour and 2 minutes. I am with you Erica, and Donnette, I am just so tired of being sick all the time. I think part of it may be the MS medication I take. It says it makes you sick for 24 hours, but now I don't get as sick it just last several days now. I would really like to get a good nights sleep.

everybody.

i was telling the chiro this morning that if i seemed a bit grumpy, it was because i woke up especially "physically grumpy".

told my husband this morning that one of the excuses i have for staying up so late is that if i'm not in a flare or don't have a particularly hard day, i feel much better in the second half of the day as i do in the first half of the day, so i like to make my second half longer!

some mornings / days are just harder than others!

last night, didn't get home til 8:45 pm, not sure how much time i had for a walk. but love this time of year! was still able to walk 1.5 miles, 30 minutes before it got dark. love that it doesn't get really dark until after 9:30 pm!

Hello friends...
Thought I would share my little bit of news today...
I passed my KM level I test today!!
I was so exhausted this week with this horrible heat that I didnt think I would make it...but I went for it. I am banged up but I now have my little yellow belt and am a KM leve II student! Wahoo!

AS can kick me around, swell up my joints, toss flares at me, make me walk like an old buggie, and pray for the pain to stop...but I refuse to let it stop me from living my life...and pffft to you AS monster...I kicked your AS today! lol
GOOOO team!!

Good job Bug, no one should mess with you

Today's run 13.1miles. Time 2 hours 10 minutes 26 seconds. Ran up American Fork canyon, and back down. Saw a deer along the way, glad I didn't see any bears.
