Progress

After my trip, my back was pretty bad but now (I almost hate to say it because I may jinx it) my back is feeling a lot better. I'm back in the pool doing my walking (despite how INCREDIBLY boring it is), I'm back on the nerve drug (I'd stopped taking it for about 10 days because of the side effects) & I've gone back to the chiro. I can't afford to see her 3 x's a week any more, so for now it'll just be a once a week maintanence thing. Hopefully I won't have another relapse & I'll continue to get better & better. *crosses fingers*

Several of my friends with the TNT gang are headed to Chicago next week for the marathon & I'm totally bummed that I can't be there with them. 2 weeks after that, a few are headed to NYC for the marathon there, as well. Again... bummed. I can't even go to cheer them on. This blows.

I need to make sure I don't do anything else to mess things up even more than they already are. I want to be able to start training again by the beginning of the year. Next year's marathon goal is the Nike Women's Marathon in San Franciso next October. I want that Tiffany necklace, dammit!!! But more than anything else, I just want to feel good about myself again.
