Yep, this was a challenging week.  Got the stomach flu last week and this week by dreaded feet decided to give me issues.  Maybe a little too much running.  Do not fret, though.  I still had a pretty good week because I got most of my workouts in. 

Lifting, running and eating well (ok, sort of well) is all going great.  In addition, on the weekends I am taking the kids out hiking to get an extra level of activity.  Not strenuous my any stretch, but activity is activity.  And it feels great.  The issue with my feet is an ongoing thing.  Being 200lb+ for the past 10 years and still being active, I have pretty much destroyed my arches.  I have orthodics and overall they do the trick.  They aren't the best when it comes to complete comfort and running super long distances.  But overall they are a blessing. Yes, occasionally something goes wrong in my feet and they will swell up.  Nothing worse than foot pain.  It usually takes a couple days to overcome that (with the help of my good friend Alleve), and I am back on track.  So, that is my big pain (no pun intended) this week.  Nope, not the big macs this time.  If there are any podiatrists out there, speak up.  I would love to know the answer to getting my feet back.  Do they make Rocket Shoes????  OK, just getting giddy now.

Anyhow, I am learning to fit in the workouts throughout my terribly busy schedule.  It feels good.  Not easy, but rewarding when I complete them.  Thank you for all the tips.  They work and it is nice to get that advice.  Keep it coming.
