contemplations

what to do...  a lot has been going on...
lets start with massages.  hooray!  my insurance covers them, and there is a place that everyone at work goes to near by and they have been telling me i should go, so i went.  and then i went again.  and now i have three appointments scheduled for the coming weeks!!
i went skate skiing the other weekend.  it was amazing.  i haven't been out very much this year.  the last time i went was with eric and the kids and my left boot kept popping out.  i had the same problem a little bit at the end of last year but whatever, but then when we went, every single step it popped out, annoying.  so eric rented me some skis and boots to do some experimenting.  went to iron horse, flat flat, sunny sunny and went out out further than i have ever gone out before!  i was feeling great, thinking, wow, i am not in such crappy shape after all!!  but then we turned around and started heading back.  into a wicked head wind.  wicked.  no wonder i was going so fast on the way out, holy smokes the head wind was brutal!  i had to just flat out stop a few times and just chill because it was just that brutal.  but, my left boot stayed in the entire time, and it was SUNNY!  so couldn't complain, too much i supposed!  after i was beat, and had to rest, a long long time.  but anyway, i have new bindings on my skis as a result, but i wonder if i will get the chance to try them out this winter.  this winter seems to have passed quickly.  seems almost over already.  i don't know.
seamus turned 9!  HOW did that happen, yikes! i have no idea about that, too fast, she is too grown up!!  and eric had a birthday today, but i won't say how old he is, but i will give you a hint in that he is as old as frankenstein!
i did go to see a neurologist about the headaches.  she gave me some medicine - anti seizure medicine!  but it seems like it might be working at least some.  i haven't had any super HORRIBLE headaches or migraines in like 2 weeks, although i have had a few bad headaches, mostly in the past few days.  totally food related, they must be!  i think?  so i am going back to the elimination and then will try to be more scientific about adding stuff back in.  we'll see.  so far, today, so good.  even passed up eric's bday cupcakes.  :(
so i had a rest day on thursday and then on friday yeah, i felt crappy and didn't do my run and then i did yoga on saturday morning but then went bday shopping for eric  (wearing my running knickers, crocs and puffy coat to bellevue square - i almost got kicked out!!) and then felt like crap after, so i came home and took a nap, and then kept feeling like crap so i skipped my bike ride.... then this morning, i slept in, and the kids were still at grandma's and were going to cirque du soleil with her that afternoon, but sirus woke up with a terrible headache and fever, so grandma brought him home so i went to the show with them instead and yeah, so i didn't get in my run or weights...  so when i have days like this, like, multiple days in a row where i don't get in my workouts, which are often this past 9 months, i think i should maybe not work with a coach, maybe just play it by ear a little more and just whatever.  but then there are those weeks when i can actually get some consistency, and i get all my workouts in and i feel really great and optimistic and want to stick with it.  so yeah, trying to figure it out.  i'm just lucky i have the opportunity when i do, should not complain.
