Day 10!

Today was a "day off" and I spent a good part of it getting my recertification in ACLS.  How many calories does it burn doing chest compressions??  My injured arm is a little sore but not as bad as I thought it would be.

One of the best parts of my day was snuggling on the couch with B and watching "Lilo and Stitch", one of our favorites, for obvious reasons.

After this week at work, my feet were already achy.   Tonight I did 2 miles on the dreadmill, running the whole time.  Around 1.5 miles I looked over to see B standing in the doorway, applauding me.  She is definitely my best cheerleader!

And the big news?  I have put some faith in myself and registered for 2 half marathons, one is May and one in August.  I guess I'll really have to get to work now to get back in running shape.  I don't know if I dare hope for a PR at one of them.

I am cautiously optimistic about the progress I am making.  I've been battling a lot of sweets cravings this week but so far have been able to substitute healthier choices or just drink a glass of water.  One of the things I'm going to try this week is a couple of new recipes, both main course and healthier desserts.  If I like them, I'll post some recipes.

Right now I am lounging in the recliner with my feet in my soaker but here I am post run:

I'm feeling like a drama queen tonight :)
