Trying again

I commit to updating this blog once every two weeks. I'm not going crazy, babysteps people. I'm not so good as a blogger, i'm a good reader of other people's blogs.

Update on my life for this new year. The roommate and i have not found a roommate. The roommate decided about 3 weeks ago she was ready to give up and was willing to pay only 1/2 rent/utilites. She told me before Christmas and told me not to make my decision immediately. Well in my mind the decision was made immediately. Oh this could mean i could maybe get my bead room back, we could then make the downstairs the workout area and could take over the entire kitchen. (granted one cupboard for isn't a lot but more fridge space bonus) I let the newspaper run for Jan 3 and Jan 5 and wouldn't you know, no phonecalls at all. I checked on Monday and the ad was in the paper. The universe decided, well actually both of us decided in my minds, that we were fine and wanted to take over this entire duplex.
Now my mind is running with how do i move all my beads, computer desk and surrounding paperwork into the upstairs spare room and keep it slightly organized while doing it. My computer desk is a complete mess with piles everywhere and some piles yet to organize. **I'll post pic here later**

Oh another interesting fact today. I went to physical therapist for my jaw. I have a slight TMJ problem. It's the disc above my jawbone ball that is getting out of place that causes my jaw to lock sometimes. Amazing how he determined it, his fingers in my mouth and all. When he was checking it out i felt the sore muscles and how the right side hurt more. The treatment is to see him 3 times this month, in which he will stretch it out and will give me some stretched to do on my own. After these 3 treatments we will reassess and determine if more treatments are needed or if we can wait about 3 weeks till the next visit. Looks like i will be seeing him for about a year, as it is a treatable problem but not a fast fix problem. He mentioned if we don't do anything about this problem i could have more problems and arthristis could start to form.

Today marks another exciting moment in my brother's life. He is flying to Australia to start his one year visa. He leaves Phi Phi today or was it yesterday...this damn timechange i don't get it yet.



Next post - resolutions.

Update

Running
Boy last night's run sucked. Last time i ran was Nov 5 and my pace was very slow. My shin had pains with every walking step, it felt better to run. Finally half way into the run the instructor suggested a different stretch which helped the one shin but the other calf still was tight and the shin pain was still occuring in my walking. Hoping my next run will feel better. I also am going to test out my instructors theory that i run better in the morning. Haven't run in the morning since she made the comment.

Running update completed.

More to update as the day goes on.

Wednesday run & Thursday soccer

Boy it was too hot here in toontown. The run was killer, way to hot to run. Glad to say i am now 5-0 for the last runs for not taking unscheduled walk breaks. I also got my pushup challenge in 61 pushups done today. I am now starting day 1 of week 2 in onehundredpushups. They seem to be getting easier and if i take a longer break inbetween sets it seems even easier to do.

Had soccer game tonight - i had fans yah me. Melissa came out and so did the "Bear" family. OMG was O-Bear the cutest and getting the ball when it came near for the girls to throw in. I was impressed that he stayed for the whole game. Think maybe i have a little interest of soccer in him now. This Saturday O-bear and me have a play date. If the weather is nice we are going to the spray park then blow bubbles and i think i might need to kick the soccer ball around with him. Looks like i should go purchase to walmart and get a small soccer ball or soft like ball.

Update...long overdue

Thanks to my good friend Melissa, i have finally committed myself to a running routine. June 12 is when i started running with the running room - i am running ast 2 out of the 3 practice running sessions per week. We walk 1 minute run 10 walk 1 run 10 walk 1 run 7 then walk. This takes about 30 mins. Every week we increase the last run session by one minute.

I am proud of myself. In the second 10 min run i used to have to stop for a short walk session. I'm proud to say that for my last 4 runs i have not had to stop for this short walk session. Also last run, we ran up the Macpherson hill. The hill is steep looking and i wanted to walk so badly, but i keep going. Granted i'm sure someone walking could keep up with our slow pace. Kim was behind us and she said "You guys are a machine for doing that hill", she tried to run it but couldn't.

The countdown is on. Melissa and i will run our second 5K in 13 days. aug 17 to be exact. We are doing it in our hometown by the river so it will be beautiful and i wonder what memories will run through my head. Good ones i hope. I will be keeping the same schedule (walk 1 min run 10 min) during this first race , althought we have not reached 5 K yet as longest distance is 4.3 kms.
