I'm ok
I'm posting in order to move my last post down and not make people think that I'm suicidal or anything like that. I'm not and while things are really rough, I will get through this. Its not something I can blog about right now. I started this blog thinking it would be a place to write everything down almost like a journal and that no one would really read it but people occasionally wander by here and this is something that I just dont want out there. I'm signing off to go watch Nancy Grace to remind me there are people out there worse off than me. Hopefully I'll be back by next week with some more positive posts.

Too hard
Today was a really rough day. I cried all day long off and on. I dont know what to do. One of my teens cried himself to sleep. it was his own fault. It still hurt my heart to see and to know why. I have some big decisions to make. I dont want to make them. I just want things to be better and they aren't.

I am on steroids!
I don't go to the doctor....except for annual checkup at GYN because well I have to. But I don't get sick and I don't go to the general practitioner. Hadn't been in at least 3 years. Until I started running...
I have a spinal condition called spondylolisthesis and when I first started running I was (and still am) having a lot of back and hip pain so I went in to get checked to make sure running wasn't making it worse. The doctor said everything looked okay and that I needed to strengthen my core and sent me off with an anti-inflammatory and some muscle relaxers. Which I don't take. Because I'm not very good at taking medicine. I don't like it and I don't remember to do it. I did take 1 muscle relaxer.....I couldn't do anything the entire next day. The anti-inflammatory only works if you take it regularly and doesn't really kick in for 2 or 3 days. So I'm sticking to my ibuprofen and aleve.
But yesterday I was back at the doctor's office. I really don't feel horrible. I felt like I might be coming down with something and usually when I feel like that I deny that I'm sick and take some airborne...ya know, just in case. But during my runs this week I have not been able to breathe after about 10 minutes. Like literally gasping for air and feeling like my lungs are closing up. And then coughing and tightness after. Normally I would think okay time to take some Airborne and rest up a little. BUT, I'm running a 5k on Saturday morning. And since my last one took me 43 minutes I'm thinking that not being able to breathe for the last 33 minutes would not be good. I thought they would give me something to break up the mucus that I just knew was beginning to fill up my chest and maybe give me an inhaler to use to make sure my lungs were opened up on Saturday.
My lungs were clear. She asked me if I had acid reflux. Well yeah and it's really bad, but I came in here because I can't breathe, not because I wake up in the middle of the night choking on yuck stuff from my esophagus (ok, gross, I know.) Apparently it turns out that somehow acid reflux can trigger bronchospasms. And so can running in cold weather. And the weather here has just gotten colder over the past couple of weeks. So I have been diagnosed with exercise induced bronchospasms and acid reflux. I left the office with 3 prescriptions. Which I am going to do my best to take. I did get an inhaler to use before running and remembering that won't be a problem. A 5 day dose of oral steroids to help with breathing should also be easy to take since it's a short time. But I also ended up with a prescription for an acid reflux medicine that I have to take EVERY DAY....for 4 MONTHS! I'm gonna try but not sure how that one is gonna go. Did I mention I don't like taking medicine?
Took the steroids this morning and discovered a wonderful side effect. My hips didn't hurt all day! Then I ran tonight...2.8 miles. My right hip did start hurting by mile 1 but my left hip did not hurt at all and still doesn't! Now my only problem is that I have gotten slightly out of shape over the last couple of weeks from not being able to run as long, but I still took about 30 seconds off of my mile pace tonight so my goal Saturday is just to beat 43 minutes....I'm a really slow runner I know....

Tiny Moon explained
Since I recently posted a picture of my Tiny Moon Man I figured I would explain why I call my youngest child Tiny Moon. He does not like it .... but I do and I'm mean like that. And I think it's cute and he earned it. I have lots of little silly nicknames for him and he hates them all, and it doesn't stop me from using them when cuddling and snuggling with him. Tiny Moon is the name I use when referring to him on Facebook. One of my friends once commented and said the fact that we call him that was so profound or deep or something. She had no clue why we call him that. It's really not profound or deep or anything like that.
One day a friend and I were sitting on the back deck chatting when she looked at the door and what did she see but a butt. The butt of my youngest son to be exact. For some reason he felt the need to pull his pants down and press his little hiney against the glass of the deck door. My friend said "hey, I see a tiny moon," and it stuck. She calls him that every time she sees him. He "grrrrs" at her and pretends to be mad but I think he secretly likes it. And besides, like I said he earned it.....and he'll probably never live it down...

Status updates
Since it is so much easier for me to update Facebook than to blog and since i haven't kept up with blogging much the past couple of months, I figured I'd post my last 2 months of status updates.....including the never-ending Cosmo status that got stuck in cyberspace and kept resending itself.

5k
Have been feeling super blah lately and haven't been able to make myself sit down and read blogs, much less update mine.
I ran my first 5k last weekend. It was 42 minutes and 56 seconds of pure hell! It was 86 degrees outside with no clouds in the sky and the sun blazing at 3 in the afternoon. I think the heat index was around 90. There was only 1 water station. My fingers swelled up like sausages and I thought my ring was going to cut off my circulation. A few times I was actually afraid I might pass out. I had been training for this for 3 months, but my runs had all taken place early morning or late evening and most were only 2 miles ( I had only completed 3.1 miles twice.) It was brutal; however, I did finish. Second in my age/sex division. There were 2 of us in that division. I was 48th overall out of 62 and ended up with a medal and a tshirt. I must be a glutton for punishment because I'm getting ready to sign up for my second 5k. Hoping to do better this time around.
