Good News

So, I can read the larger text next (although it's still blurry) on things like the computer screen and the TV across the room with just my right eye open. So...I'm guessing I wasn't reacting well to the Systane.

Bad news?

Even with meds in me, I feel like the sinuses in my head are going to explode. Or else I have a migraine. I'm not sure which yet.

Oh oh oh! Were you able to get running shoes and stuff yet? I forgot to add this the other day, but you often have to get one size larger than you would normally wear for just walking. I wear 11's (yes, I have skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis), so my running shoes are 12's. Makes a HUGE difference.

And I do interval running too. I normally run for about fifteen to twenty minutes to start now, then walk, then run, and so on. And slow is good, because when I first tried it I was running too fast -- over 6 MPH -- and about 5.3 to 5.5 MPH is perfect for me.

This is all lawl for me since I've had a number of joint surgeries and have RA... the first time I ran a mile in junior high, I had a brace on each ankle and a brace on each knee. Had Forrest Gump been out back then, someone should've given me a "Run Forrest, ruuuuuuuuun!"

Shoes will be today. BUt yeah, I got the rest of it. :) Also have to go ask to see the exercise room too to see what they actually have up there. Which I'm waiting to do until my headache dies down a little more (it is finally starting to fade, thank god.)

I'm wondering if I need to get a timer or watch or step-meter thing to help...

Do you have an iPod nano? Nike has a chip you can put in Nike+ shoes and attach a receiver on the nano that will track your mileage and speed (and calories too, based on some algorithm using your weight). Amazon also has some independent sellers that offer a pouch for non-Nike+ shoes, and I have some of each!

Nope. I rebelled and got a Zune. *g*
