The not so great run day on day two....

Today was a struggle.  I'm working on this running plan, attempting to start a new schedule, and the first two days I'm out for a run are suddenly interrupted....   I'm working hard on running a faster pace with each run I do, but I struggle to leave behind those who run slower yet desire my company, I just can't do it.  Two days in a row of this occurring and now I'm feeling like I've had two failed workouts, neither run met my expectations and both have left me feeling frustrated and behind on my plan.  Ugh....  Tomorrow I will run in a secret, undisclosed location and maybe I'll get in a good workout without worrying about hurting anyone's feelings.  I may need to be more creative, but I need to stay on this new plan or I will not achieve my goal come April.

My hematology appointment was today!!   Last April was my last iron infusion, the beginning of May was when I went gluten free, and today my hemaglobin set a new PR!!  Rock on!  I'm officially a 12.7, record high for me in the past 6 years of testing.  It's crazy that I went through thousands of dollars on testing, many hours of appointments, painful procedures, and all to find out nothing.  Then one day I'm told I may have Celiac, go gluten free, and just like that....no more anemia.  That test was painless, free, easy, and the cure!  This is the longest I've gone without an iron infusion in three years, it feels wonderful to know that I may not see the inside of the cancer center lab ever again.  Sweet!

Tomorrow is looking like rain, I praying it pours buckets!  I love running in the rain, so I'm hoping it starts early and keeps coming down.  I need a good workout, need to push the limits, looking forward to a great run.  

Two kids to put in bed yet, then packing up for tomorrow.
