Off the bandwagon..

I fell off the bandwagon this past week.  

It all started on Thursday.  I was supposed to run two miles.  I made it 1.5 miles, then I just had to walk to the rest of the way home.  My knees were hurting so badly.  I didn't want to injure myself any further, so I just walked home and iced my knees and took ibuprofen.    

 We had to make an unplanned trip up north to attend my husband's grandpa's funeral so we just barely got back yesterday. The whole time we were up there my knees hurt. They just ache.  I really don't want to make them worse, but I really need to get running again so that I'm prepared for my 10k that's in just a few weeks.  To make things worse, I have been getting really bad headaches for the past three days.  I rarely get headaches, and for some reason every single day at around the same time it hits me.  I've been trying to drink more water and all that, but nothing seems to be working. 

Anyways, I'm done complaining for now.   :)

While we were up north I made some blueberry zucchini bread.  I figured since it had zucchini in it, it was healthy. :) We completely devoured a whole loaf in less than 5 minutes. It was really yummy. 

My newest addiction. I ate a whole bag on the way home yesterday.  They are addicting.

We came home to a ton of cucumbers in our garden so my husband and I canned some pickles yesterday.  I can't wait for them to be ready to eat!

I started a new sewing project today.  I gathered all of our kids' baby blankets and cut them up for a big blanket.  I'm about half way done.....

 I didn't feel like cooking dinner tonight,  so I just kept it simple and made apple walnut oatmeal.  It was really good. :)

Tonight I am going to try to run and see how my knees feel.  They still hurt, but not as bad.  I guess we'll see how it goes!
