Hey guys! We hope you all had a fun yet relaxing ( and safe weekend).
My week and weekend ended up being busier than I though it would be and I am still exhausted so I will just go through some highlights.
( Lacey had another busy week at work, so she said she didn't do anything worth noting. She is working on putting together her exercise room so I think she is going to show us that when she is finished)
Monday 6/30
This week was suppose to start the "Goofy" training, but I admit I didn't do very well.
I didn't run this day, but I did get a much needed haircut!
I finished up an article I was working on for a magazine and another feature piece for the newspaper. Every time I complete a big assignment I feel like a kid on the last day of school, so relieved!
Tuesday 7/1
My new planner is working out just fabulous for me! I love writing down all my tasks the night before and then seeing how many I can cross off during the day. Quite a few tasks from Monday didn't get done so they got pushed over to Tuesday's list. ( I won't bore you with the details though).
I had a Dr. appointment this day to take a look at a sore I had on my foot. The dr said that he could surgically remove it but then I wouldn't be able to run for several days. I opted to go with the OTC medicine instead. When I bought the OTC medicine, I read the box said it would take 12 weeks for my sore to heal. No, I wasn't waiting 12 weeks. I promptly called up my dr and made an appointment for the following day!
I did get a 4 mile run in this day and it was a good run.
I did 1 mile later again than night as well.
Wednesday 7/2
Today I had my orthopedist appointment. I got a cortisone shot in my hip.
I went back to my other dr in the afternoon and had my foot taken care off.
I received a new pair of running shoes in the mail when I came home and promptly tried them on and laced them up. I wore them around the house all evening. Surprisingly I had no pain in my foot at all.
Friday 7/4
We spent the day in Pittsburgh and went to a Pirates vs Phillies game.
Saturday and Sunday we had a graduation party and a shower to go to. I did get 3.1 miles in on Sunday morning though.
I have no excuse not to have ran on Monday but after my shot on Wednesday I was kind of taking it easy on purpose. After 4 days, my hip is still black and blue from the shot ( which is to be expected) but it is still hurting. I don't remember still feeling pain for this long after the first shot. I thought I had read some where that soaking in Epsom salt helps relieve some of this pain. Is this true?

Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to relieve the soreness from my shot?
