Well . . . 12 weeks to Boston, I guess it's time for me to step up the miles. I have to admit that I was really liking the 5ish miles a day bit. I have got to figure out a way to convince myself that I will like the 6ish miles a day and then the 7ish miles a day and so forth (as well as the much longer weekend runs) just as much! Ha!

11 miles, AP 7:55

Absolutely beautiful weather other than the west wind. It was sunny and gorgeous. As long as I wasn't running directly west it felt ideal! I was tempted to just run north and south but I decided that I would make a big loop and suck it up! :-)

I was by my lonesome since Ry hurt his neck yesterday, and Shelbey had already showered by the time I was ready to run! Ha! I was shocked that I didn't see any runners out today, maybe because I didn't get out the door until 10ish. Hee Hee!

Got home and worked the glutes a bit:

50 lunges

50 squats

50 SLS back kicks

Not a fun day. Short version:

Smo has been sick. She was trying to avoid telling us how sick she was because she didn't want to miss her basketball practice or games. Yesterday she took a turn for the worst. Last night when she asked to sleep with me I realized that it was bad (that is so not like her). She woke up in the middle of the night crying that her ear hurt. She had a fever and I was tempted to take her into the emergency department but when she fell back asleep Ry and I decided that one of us would just take her to the instacare in the morning. She was still asleep when I left for work (I didn't run because I had been up with her multiple times and was beat). About an hour after I left Ry said she woke up crying again and this time as she got up blood started pouring from her ear. Ry took her to the Instacare. She had ruptured her ear drum and had a bad infection. She was but on IV for fluids and antibiotic. Poor thing.

Another restless night with Smo by my side. The pain and the bleeding have not subsided. Smo has an appointment with an ENT in about a week. It's hard to get the drops in her ears because there is still so much blood and drainage. :-(

Smo slept with me one more time. She did much better last night only waking up 2-3 times to wipe out her ear. It is still draining but slowly down measurably. The pain is still there but not as intense. The dizziness has subsided. She still cannot hear out of that ear though. Wish we could have gotten into the ENT sooner.

6.5 miles, nice and easy

Hip extension in plank, 3 X 15 B

Hip abduction in side plank, 3 X 10 B

Bridge with SL extension, 3 X 10 B

Smo is unbelievable. She seriously just tried to convince me to go to Dicks Sporting Goods and buy her a wrestler's ear guard for her. She whole heartedly argued that she should be allowed to play in her two basketball games if I get that for her because in her words, "it would protect [her] ear!" That girl!!!!!!!

5.5 TM miles (Summit)

Lunges and bar squats with Rylee (135 lb 3 X 8: used the track system because I am kind of wimpy, ha!) Rylee is way tougher than me when it comes to weights! I need to get my butt in gear! :-)
