Vacation

Well back to the grind stone. Not my nose though that would hurt.
Just before vacation I took my MRI of my ankle but have not got in touch with the doctor yet so no news there.

Things done while on vacation:

2. Visit with brother at Jordanos (Best Pizza Joint)
3. Check in to hotel Seneca
4. Eat at TGI Fridays. Yummy
5. the field museum
6. Beat down the one temper tantrum of the week. No I did not actually beat her.
7. See Soldiers field.
8. Millennium park and saw the Concert for the 2016 Olympic bid
9. Kids played in the water fountain at the park (very cool)
10. Take the bus a lot
11. went to the American girl doll store
12. went to the Lego store.

26. oh ya and just be silly and have a great time.
27. Plus I got to use my non-existing mixed martial arts skills to fend off some homeless people. (Not really but we did turn down some.)
28. One child tried to drop food in front of a homeless person and then pick it back up. How cruel.


When we got back I spent 2 days painting and I am still not done.
Plus I saw the dark knight movie.

All in all it was a great vacation. I am sad it is over.

More events scheduled for the summer so it is not over.

Faking or not?

Yesterday I headed to the Sport Med doctor for what seemed like the hundredth time.
He was vague as usuall. Do they every really know what they are doing or are they making up as they go along? I am sure he does know what he is doing but sometimes it feels that way when you get frustrated. Between he and I we figure that it is not getting much better. Yes the symptoms have gone down but when I strain it with activity they come back. So the next step is the dreaded MRI. I wish we would have done this first but that is the way the cookie crumbles. I still have not contacted my running partner. (Sorry) I will get around to that someday. I now want to wait until I know what the MRI says. I will try to fit that in sometime during the next few weeks.

In good news land I am going on Vacation next week. Isn't that just peachy? I can't wait. I think we all need some R&R. I will even get to see my brother. Then after we get back my week will be crazy. I have a race to go to and the tennis tournament also. It will be my sons first race and we will see if he likes it. Cross your fingers.

Children are loving VBS this week. I think they get pure adrenaline while they are there by the way they act when they get home.

Well have to go.

Love running and EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.
