Good, More Good, and Not-So-Good

Good news: THEBOY slept all night, and in fact woke up with a fever of only 99. I was worried that, again, he'd wake up early, burning up and flushed. So we may be seeing the trailing edge of this particular illness.

More good news: THEGIRL turns two tomorrow. Yahoo! You should see the beautiful cake Kelli got her.

Bonus good news: She used the potty this morning! That was pretty cool.

(That is, THEGIRL used the potty. Not Kelli, who seems to have it down by now.)

The not-so-good: I've re-aggravated my calf injury. I did it on the treadmill, apparently. I don't understand how running four miles on a track left me feeling great and running six miles on a treadmill left me hobbled.

I went back and forth all morning, trying to decide whether I could run on this thing. I finally decided to give it a shot. I got dressed, strapped on the iPod, hit the track and... OW OW OW. I went about 50 yards. It simply hurts too much.

I don't get it I don't get it I don't get it.

SO I'll modify my workouts, see if I can spend more time on the elliptical machine. I'd like to think that since it's a zero-impact workout it won't further exacerbate this problem. Maybe in a week or two I can hit the track again.

It's just frustrating that my stamina is capable of doing what my limbs aren't.

At least it stopped raining. Seems like over the past few days we've caught up on all the rain we didn't get this winter. Wow.

Have a good weekend.
