The importance of XT

I have learned my lesson. XT is very important. Had I been doing weights, my knee would have probably been in better shape.

It feels much better today. I iced last night, put sports cream on it, and took some Advil. I think it is almost back to normal. I'm going to the gym tonight and do the weights. Definitely need to do them at least twice per week to make sure I strengthen muscles/ligaments/tendons.

Mandy, Christa, Magda, and Cheryl, you made me cry this morning. (and I don't cry easily). You are AWESOME, and I'm so glad we are in this journey together.

You know, every now and then I have one of those "oh my" moments, when I realize I am the mother of 3 kids! Not that I don't know that, but it's like WOW, I have 3 kids. LOL
tidbit of useless info about me: when I was younger, I did NOT want to get married or have kids. I never dreamt of my wedding day, or had names picked out for my kids. I just didn't think marriage was for me, and I was ok with that.
I dated, was in "love" (at least I thought it was love) a few times, but just didn't see marriage in my future.
Then I met my husband, and 6 months later, we were engaged. When I called my friends (who had heard me repeatedly say I was never getting married), they didn't believe me!! They actually laughed at me, because they thought it was a joke. They said until they saw this man who had actually made me "eat my words" they wouldn't believe me. Same thing when I got pregnant with my daughter.

I guess the moral of the story is never say never. LOL

I never thought I would be training for a marathon, with 3 kids at home, and a husband. But here I am, and I'm happy to be a mom, a wife, and a marathoner!!!
