I'm a Slacker with a running problem, wait, maybe that's backwards
I should be sharing my 2018 recap but typing it is taking me longer than I thought it would. I just keep slacking.
I have dual monitors at work now! It’s glorious! They are new and pretty and shiny and I love it. Only downside is that they are bigger (not the downside, that’s awesome) but I have been standing more this week and my back and feet hurt. My desk is a standup desk but it’s about 5 inches off the right height so it’s always been an issue so the adjustment curve this week has been a little steep.
Speaking of feet, my left foot still hurts. Sometimes it’s fine and other times I feel a dull ache across the bones along the top. This can happen when I am walking or sitting. Not cool. I’ve worn my comfiest flats all week. Which is kind of an oxymoron.
Which then leads me to this weekend. Castle to Coast is Saturday; 8 miles along an open highway with no real way to bail if my foot protests hard. Not to mention that I still haven’t felt well this week. I did call my doc 2 weeks ago to make an appointment but they can’t see me until the end of January. Not helpful. I am seriously leaning towards a DNS but I don’t know if my pride will let me do that.
Other than the race I am riding the fence about, I may repaint my bedroom this weekend. It’s been yellow for far too long and I need a change. Now I just need to choose a color.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
What are you up to this weekend?

Learning to love myself, one run at a time
That really sucks about your foot. Is it bad enough to go to a walk-in clinic to get an x-ray to make sure nothing’s broken?

I’ve recently learned that my insurance and urgent care don’t really communicate. I would have to go to the ER or wait for my appointment with my regular doc. Grrrr. Which is why I went most of December thinking I had pneumonia but not diagnosis.

Ooo, dual monitors is where it’s at! I loved when my company set that up for me. As far as the race goes, only you can decide, but it might be a good idea to skip it if you’re still in pain.

The dual monitors are awesome!
I skipped the race. It was a hard choice but the smart one, I am trying to be smarter this year, haha.
