A windy 4 mile run yesterday up the hill and along the Aquaduct

A windy 4  mile run yesterday up the hill and along the Aquaduct.  It was beautiful but the wind was so strong it blew my one foot and it would hit the other when running!  I stayed far away from the aquaduct water because I felt like the wind would push me in.  Unfortunately I was allergic to something because I had an allergy attack that lasted several hours afterwards.  Feel much better today. 

It still was worth it.  It is so beautiful up there.  I was a little slower than usual averaging 5 miles per hour and I blame it on the wind.  :) 

Been working out at the gym as well with lounges, pull ups and dips.

Taking sulfazine, don't really feel it's doing anything, still having flare-ups in my fingers and ankles.
My rhuematologist said it would probably take about six weeks ...think it's only been 2 or 3.

Signed up for the color run in Lancaster for February.  Can't wait  :) :)

Color run!!! Be there

Going to sign up for this run.  Looks like fun!!!    :) :) :)

Hello All. Haven't been blogging lately...

Hello All.  Haven't been blogging lately...  Been taking care of my mom and so I haven't really the time to blog between that, school, work and appointments. :o  Haven't really been running lately as well.

Saw the Rheumatologist yesterday and we agreed to try Sulfasalazine again.  I just feel my pain is not as bad as before I started Enbrel. 

She also ordered an x-ray of my foot because when the balls of my feet swelled up a few weeks back it left my right foot feeling a little discombobulated.  So I will be getting that x-ray tomorrow.

So needless to say I haven't been running in the last week :\  

Can't wait to get back on track.  This last month and half my workouts have been much more sparse.  Need to get back to at least where I was.  :o

A side note my twins are back in college and my youngest, Garrett is now a senior in high school.

Yesterday Garrett auditioned for a Disney show called Jessie.  Well, I guess he didn't get it because we haven't heard anything yet and you usually do by now I believe. :o  He's kind of sad about it, but I don't see signs that he is giving up.

He is also working on practicing the SAT questions. 

Have a great day.

Thanks for reading. :)

Results of today's ultrasound and second mammogram

Results of today's ultrasound and second mammogram were normal!!!  wahoooooo!!  Wow, what a scary thing to go through. I guess the first one was a false-positive.

But wow, how your mind just goes to town when you are sitting there waiting for results in the cold little room with other ladies dressed in hospital gowns waiting for their answers as well....so surreal....sooooooo scary!!! 

God bless all the people who have breast cancer. May they win their fight!!

Yikes! Abnormal mammogram :(

Yikes!  Abnormal mammogram :(   Go on Friday for more tests.  Trying to think positive.

We'll see.  :o 

here are the pictures we took of the beautiful running trails in Sacramento and misc....

Took some pics of the sites of Sacramento.  Mostly wanted to show you all the beautiful trail we did our running on in Sac, CA.

We were behind this bus for miles and miles on the way there!

What is this thing?



On the way to Sacramento

I found Waldo!




They weren't kidding about the trees!




 

The trail we ran our 5 K on
 

 

amazing trails we enjoyed

Happen to see  these peeps pass by




sooo many bike riders



more green beauty



beginning of trail



on the trail

when you look up you are just surrounded by trees, and can barely see the sky at times



my favorite part of the trail

we came back the next day after running and took some pics of the trail.... I am almost camouflage

t

the trail we took was right next to the river

this one looks like it has a face lol....what are these things?



the moss of the tree trunks

Green everywhere!

cool painting on a building in old town Sacramento looks like people are climbing out of the picture.... amazing artist!



I think there must of been a comic-con going on?



The trip wouldn't be complete until you see Mr. Pickles



Not as bad as it could be

Took this at a rest stop - beautiful California sunset



Wow, Sacramento has bEAutiful trails!   The one my hubby and I ran today was like a mini tropical rain forest...... I was 90 degrees outside the trail but when you are in the trail itselft it was very cool, I'd say like below 70 degrees.  The tall trees were so amazing. The river was gorgeous.  We also had fun listening to the geese honk their horns, in an arrow up in the sky.  Something I NEVER see in the desert!   :)

The bump in my foot did well with my eleven days of rest.  It hurts but nothing to write home about.

I hope to take pictures of the trail tomorrow to show all of you it's beauty.  The people in Sac are also truly blessed with beautiful biking and jogging trails.

Thank you for reading.
