Running Wed?

Just checking on you girls. Is the plan still to run on wed.? let me know. Ems jr. did you get my message? let me know what days work for you. I am back at doc's offices today. Maquel has a dentist appt to get her chipped teeth fixed and then yesterday Caleb slipped on the kitchen floor and has hurt his "new" leg. We are seeing the ortho doc today. Hoping for something minor, he is in a lot of pain though. See you tomorrow AM unless I hear otherwise.

Get Well!!!

Ems Jr.- we do miss you greatly! Hoping that your body will kick this illness to the curb! please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Seriously, dinner, babysitting, grocery shopping, house cleaning anything! I would love to help!

Ems Sr.- I am hoping that your injury will heal itself and that you will have a speedy recovery. I'm no doc, just a coach, but my advice would be to baby it as much as possible with lots of stretching and the heat/cold packs. The same invitation is for you. Please call if you need anything at all.

In the meantime Coach will be trying to coach herself. LOL! I suppose the Ipod will have to suffice the runs that were filled with the motivator, the debator and all the fun stories and comments inbetween.

Taking a break

Well it looks like a small break for us. One sick, one hopefully small injury and a coach left with no one to train. Also, I will be gone Tuesday through Saturday the 11th. SO.....hopefully we will all three be ready to give it another go Monday October 13th. I'll do my best to nurse my knee for the next 12 days so I will be ready to hit the road. Em Jr. I posted a comment on the previous entry but just in case you didn't see it....GET WELL SOON. I miss your motivation, girl! If yall get a chance post ideas and/or info on what training you would like to follow.
Until next time,
E Sr.

I'm not well :(

I'm sorry I missed this morning. I decided not to go running last night when I got home from work, but didn't have the energy to get downstairs to let you know on our blog. I think I had a fever at work- I'm really achy and my throat hurts. Poor little me. :) I'll be fine in a day or two. How was the run this morning? Have a great weekend.

E Jr.

Happy for you!

Ems-

I am so glad you found the store. I returned a message to you but wasn't sure if you got it in time. I am so happy that you were able to get new shoes and that you had a great experience. See you early AM.

New Shoes!

Hi E Sr and D! Hope you enjoyed the trails today. I didn't go running last night....my sister and I went to the temple instead. Anyway- I made it over the the Run AZ store and got checked out. He said my shoes were much too old, too small and the inserts were all wrong, pushing my feet outward. Phew- anything good about them, sir? :) I tried on quite a few pair, loved the feel of one in particular and actually bought them! Since the new color of this model had come out, I got them for $65 which I thought was great! Oh, and I bought them in a size 9.5, a full size larger than my others. You were right Dayna!! He also said my Achilles tendon was much too tight, along with my calves which is causing my plantar fasciitis to act up. So I also bought the calf stretcher. I'm a sucker. But thank you for the referral to this store. I really enjoyed my experience and can't wait to run in my new shoes. I also learned you shouldn't put more than 450 miles on a pair of shoes. So I found an online running log (see link at left) to keep track of my running and shoe mileage. See you in the morning!

not gonna make it!

I am not gonna make our run tomorrow am. I will run on my own. I will see you friday for sure.
