Running stats for the week of May 19th - May 25th... I can't even begin to tell you how overwhelming my life has become. Not only have I started a new job, but the place I'm working is starting from the ground up. There is SO much to get done! I'm struggling to get a grasp on working in health care plus trying to learn what is expected of me in this new position. I'm use to working a lot, but feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing is really stressing me out. On top of that, I'm so behind on my project that I'm doing to finish up my Masters degree it's not even funny. Uhhhgggg! So, because of that running and exercising has become a foreign language to me. The only thing I have made sure to try and do is to make sure Remi is getting outside in the fresh air and walking as much as my schedule will allow. Obviously his health and happiness is the most important thing ;)

Walkin'... Walkin'... Walkin'...

CrossFit Monday

CrossFit WOD's for the week of May 12th - May 18th... This week put a damper on any running plans I had with the cold rainy weather we had. BRRRR! When is it going to get warm and stay warm? The change in temperatures irritated my knees and I spent most days and nights with them aching horribly. So instead of running, I focused on easy CrossFit WOD's that I could do at home. Kind of boring and not too challenging, but it seemed to work out well since my schedule was insane and I would not have had much time to get a run in. I sure am ready for summer to arrive!

30 Before 30 - Find a Church to Attend

This past weekend Dan and I attended Emmanuel Church of Greenwood. Several of our friends had recommended it to us, plus it is super close to our house so we figured we would check it out. It's a very big church compared to what we are use to, but we really liked it a lot.

Dan said this is the first service that he actually listened to most of the sermon! WHOA! I think we have a winner. We will probably try to go as much as Dan and I's schedule permits. Hopefully we will be able to call it our home church at some point in the future.

Time to check "find a church to attend" off my 30 Before 30 List!

Mileage Monday

Running stats for the week of May 5th - May 11th... During all three of my runs this week I felt pretty good. The first two I had a slight pain in my left knee and then my last one I had slight/moderate pain in my right knee. I'm still taking things extremely slow and making sure I don't do anything crazy to flare it up again. I'm making sure that part of my routine is to take the time to cool down, stretch, and ice. It is time consuming, but something that keeps my legs feeling good. This upcoming week I plan to stick to my 2 mile runs and maybe throw a 3 miler in there if I'm feeling pain free. Slowly but surely I'm working myself back up to where I was!!
