BACK TO 'SCHOOL', BACK TO FOOTBALL!!!


We are ready for the start of our new series at Nomad tomorrow, the theme and basis of the message for the upcoming 9 weeks is called "Journey High". It is a high school based set on the stage complete with desks, grafitti, classroom props, music and videos. It will be very cool and I think we might shake up a few lives and awaken a few souls in the process. I'll get pics tomorow.

I wore flip flops all day because my right foot was definitely swollen and in need of some breathing room, not numb anymore and the morning after a good sleep will dictate if I go to the gym before church tomorrow.

My beloved Dolphins open their regular NFL football season Monday night against the New England Patriots, so I will be ensconced in my media center to watch said game unless someone invites me to join them out somewhere to watch it. They aren't always broadcast here in my area due to several different factors that I won't ramble on about, but Monday Night Football is pretty much a guarantee. I remember watching the 1972 Dolphins play their perfect season, a record that has not been broken yet and may not ever considering the dynamics of the game these days. One of the reasons they are so dear to me is that my mother was a HUGE fan and I have fond memories of watching them play with her. I had planned on taking her to Miami to see a game but she passed away before I could afford to do that.

So, artistic avenues explored, more great things accomplished at Nomad this week and FOOTBALL IS HERE!!! What more can a girl ask for? :-)

Have a blessed Sunday y'all (that's southern speak for you all), and as always, Peace.

Super long day yesterday and I spent almost all of the day at Nomad sketching and drawing plans for the stage props. It is wonderful to have a place like this to utilize my talents and abilities. When I walk in the door I immediately feel the positive energy in that place and I feel like I can do anything!

The stage will be transformed into a high school classroom for the next 9 weeks, we are doing a series called "Journey High" and it will be a combination of drama, music, and spiritual message that should prove to be awesome. Of course I have been put in charge of all the stage backdrops and other props.

My foot did really good yesterday but this morning the numbness is back in my foot, calf and thigh again. DARNITALL. I am going to call my nephew's chiropractor today and see if they can get me in next week, if I am lucky I can go before my massage. I have to let this leg heal but I am afraid I am missing out on important training before my race. One day at a time. And truthfully, I'm probably as ready as I will be for this first race anyway. Not gonna stress over it.

Well I have to get on my way so have a great Friday everyone!

Paintbrush Salute to Bren and all my other awesome buds!

I have been recruited for another project at Nomad - painting stage props and scenery for an upcoming series called "Journey High". It will be a high school/classroom setting and it will be fun! I start tomorrow.

I have to take it easy for a day or so on my running, I went to the running store this morning and told Pete about my issue (I remembered his name by dubbing him "Pete for the feets") :-), he looked at my foot and asked some questions, then he suggested an insert for the insole of my right shoe. It seems my second toe sticks out a little more than my big toe and seems to be causing the problem, and the tingling numbness is indeed a swelling/constriction condition.

So I wore the shoes the rest of the day and my leg is feeling a little better, but the numbness is still present. It had spread all the way up to mid thigh this morning. This used to happen to me all the time but since I've lost weight I haven't had the problem.

I am still concerned this will impact my training but I will not let it stop me, I will pay attention to my legs and feet closely and proceed with my plan. I WILL run this 5k darnitall!

I want to write more but I have to get my butt in bed and take my Aleve, I'm taking my laptop with me to Nomad tomorrow and hopefully I'll have a bit more time to catch up with everyone!

Blessings and peace to all.

BUMMER.


Even though I have been so careful all these months about my form and my warm ups, stretches, and cool-downs, I still have managed to develop an uncomfortable condition in my right foot, and now, almost all of the lower part of that leg. I have tingling and numbness in my toes and foot after about 20 - 30 minutes of jogging, but it has always subsided after my workout. In the last few days it has gotten worse and Aleve and ice hasn't helped at all today. I am NOT happy about this.

Tomorrow I'm going to go back to the running store where I bought my shoes and see if they can help me, I did a little reading on the runners world website and it had some information about this, and it is not uncommon in newbie runners like me. Anyway, wish me luck, I do not want anything to derail me at the last minute before my race.

So I guess I will take tomorrow off from the gym even though I don't want to. Gotta take care of the feets. I also have an appointment with a massage therapist tomorrow afternoon, so maybe I can get some relief there as well. Here's to no more numbness!

Anyway I hope everyone has a great evening. And remember, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. :-)


Peace.
