Going For A Test Run

I gave my orthodics a test run at the track this morning and it went very well. Dr Tanner told me that he wanted me to start out slow and do one mile the first day. I had been away from the track for so long that I couldn't just stop after one mile so I did two miles. It felt good. No pain...yet. Now I'm off to yoga class and then later I have to work. That will be quite the test. Hopefully I won't be feeling any pain by the end of the night.

On another note, Kerry is coming in from Gainesville tomorrow for a few days. I can't wait to see her. It's been two months since I laid eyes on my girl and that's too long for this Mom. I am giving up free yoga day on Saturday to go shopping. I am so looking forward to shopping and talking and laughing with the kid. It's gonna be great. I'll only have until Wednesday though. She will be taking off to Washington DC for an AMSA convention and then back to Gainesville. I gonna try to take Monday night off so that we can spend that night together and the Kerry can come with me to Curves on Tuesday night. I'm going to be making the most of the time that we have together.

My New Orthodics

I picked up the custom inserts for my shoes yesterday. That'll be $400 not covered by insurance thank you very much. My podiatrist told me to wear them for one hour yesterday and one and a half today and just work up to wearing them all the time. Of course, I wore them to work last night and I forgot to bring my other inserts to switch out after an hour so I had to wear them all night. They feel really weird but I am going to keep wearing them. My foot has been feeling pretty good but I really haven't put it to the test. I spoke with Dr Tanner about going back to the track and he wants me to gradually work back up to my usual 3 to 4 mile walk. You know, one mile the first day, one and a half the next day. If I ever want to lose that pesky 10 pounds I have to start going for my daily powerwalk again. It's the only exercise that really works for me. I'm waiting for our weather to warm up so that I can go. I know that some of you may think that 50 degrees is like summer but to me it's cold. I don't go to the track when the temps turn cold like that and it's been cold for quite a while. Not the usual weather for us here in South Florida. I'm hoping that the temps go back up to the 60's or 70's soon. I want to try out my new orthodics.
