Unplanned hiatus..............................
With the involvement of my vision I have not been running as I have fallen a couple of time around the house and I don't think it would be smart to chance a real injury this close to marathon day.
I was doing well on my own until yesterday afternoon when I noticed that my right eye was beginning to puff up, so I gave in and went and got a dose of steroids. Fruits and veggies a few whole grains, no junk, and lots of prayers please that I don't pack on ten pounds like I did the last time I had to do this. I am slow enough as it is.
Check out the latest eye pictures on my other blog, www.neoblast.blogspot.com/ for my eyes in full bloom. My youngest had her boyfriend drive me to her job at the pizza place for show and tell last night. I look hideous I tell you, hideous, and how often does one get to show off and laugh about looking hideous? Ya gotta take life's moments when they come. My youngest's boss was very impressed with my ability to laugh at myself, something else that I have developed as a result of running. I would go into examples if I had two working eyes, but my frontalis muscles are getting tired from keeping my eyelids open allowing me two slits for typing.
Don't worry if I don't post for a couple of days. I will be back with a report of this Sunday's 8K race.

I'm pleased it's not hurting. That's a good thing. But it's probably very unpleasant to say the least. And you've been falling!
Best wishes for a quick recovery and full 20/20 vision!
Oh Honey, you've been falling? I'm so glad you went in. The steroids should kick in shortly. I will be thinking about you. I love your attitude, how often do you get to laugh at yourself for looking hideous. You crack me up. Hang in there and be careful. And wash everything you can think of!! :)
Everything I can think of has been washed. At least I wasn't in a car or anything. Funny that I have none on my legs (but I still washed my shoes) even though I ran in shorts. I think I must have squated back into it and then transfered it to my hands when I pulled up my pants, and the worst of it is on my left low back/upper buttocks.
I can see again, but look VERY Oriental at the moment. Everytime I looked in the mirror I made (my) Mister take another picture of me, posing with the pets, he and I,alone. No more falls either so don't worry.
Does he have any fun fantasies that you can fulfill? Might be your only chance posing as oriental... :) ;) :D
Glad you are improving.
Reading this in the AM I have dashed the question off to his office to check. I can see him sitting at his desk, blushing beet red, which will make for good water cooler speculation later today by his co-workers don't ya think?
Nanc,
He said to tell you "like mind and all that"...He was looking in the yellow pages for Kimono shops when he got the e-mail from me. :)As to the rest he doesn't kiss and tell...
