New Eyes but a Year Older

Well, I had my second eye surgery and all is good--I can see!!!! I even wore eye makeup today. Life is good, so I thought. It's been two weeks of "light" workouts and I felt it this week. While on the treadmill Monday, my right leg felt like it was on fire. I was so disappointment because I'd come so far and now I feel like I'm almost back to square one. Dallas is headed to Hawaii today, so I'm on my own for a week and a half. Hopefully I'll be able to work through my shin splints and get my endurance back by the time he returns. Amazing what you lose in a couple of weeks!

It's also my birthday this week. It's kind of a BIG birthday too. I'll admit my body felt its age today. Between my bone spur, sore hip and shin, I wasn't looking forward to my workout, especially after Monday. After 4 ibuprofin I felt ok and did pretty good for an old lady.

With about six weeks left in the challenge, knowing there isn't a chance to win, I'm going to work harder than I have so far.

Oh yeah, three weeks and still pop free.
