Day Ninety Two

I've saved, or tried to save, this post several times and it keeps disappearing. P I A. I'll figure this stuff out yet.
Monday went to doc. Diagnosis is as I expected. ITB. Iliotabial band. He gave a sheet of stretching and strength exercises to do. And quite a workout they are, too. The stretches I was doing previously, I see now, weren't really doing me much good. So I'll do them at least once a day. And no running for another short while. Also all my blood work came in good. Everything normal, for me. I lost 8 lbs. since January. Actually it was more but gained some of it back while on vacation and not able to run as often as I wished I could have. Also on Monday I did about 18 miles on the bike, the first 8 with my girls. The youngest complained a bit about how far I 'made' her go. But she was a trooper and finished. That took about 2 hours. Then I went for a quick 10 mile ride to burn up some excess energy. Felt good.
Tuesday walked for 3.5 miles. Pretty warm out and I believe I perspired as much as if I were running. Be glad when the heat of summer is over.
Wednesday couldn't find the time to do much of anything. Between errands and work and kids there just isn't no time. And more of the same for Thursday. Meeting in the morning and work in the afternoon. I read a quote the other day I kinda liked "If you are too busy for exercise you are too busy". I've got to start to try and plan better to get some exercise everyday. Friday should be good. I may try and run but we'll see how my leg feels after I stretch it out a bit.
Also think I may start doing these stretches on both legs just as a preventative type thing. I mean as part of my warm up and cool down routine.
One thing I definitely need to do is go golfing. Only been out twice this summer. Once in April and once in May. Should've seen what kind of summer it was going to be by the late spring hot weather. One of these days soon. I'll do it. Just do it. Yeah right.
Our new puppy is working out pretty good. He's seems to be a smart feller. The kids wear him so he sleeps all night long. Had to puppy proof the dog pen this week. He escaped the first time we left him in with the other dogs. When we came home he was sitting on the front deck. I think he got out and couldn't find his way back in. The old dogs appear to be tolerating him OK but the cats aren't as accommadating. Cats never are though. Pup got a booster shot yesterday and I don't think it agreed with him as he had business coming out both ends. I'm teaching my children responsibility because I'm letting them clean up the messes. What a nice father I am.
OK then til next time. Will run for beer.
