Hi friends! Today starts a fun but busy week for me! But first let’s catch up.
Beach Trip Part 2

Beach Trip Part 4
I will be doing quite a bit of traveling this week. I am headed out this morning on a week long road trip to visit some stores selling Running Skirts. My mom is tagging along with me to keep me company. I am hitting 13 stores in 5 days in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma! Let’s just say there will be lots of driving! I am hoping to have free WiFi in the hotels so I can still blog about my adventures.
Fingers crossed Bobby keeps the dogs alive and doesn’t burn the house down!
wwweeee I like to play in the waves. I won’t burn the house down!
Yesterday, we went to church and lunch with our Sunday School class. bobby had a board meeting for work, and I packed up and then headed to my mom and dad’s for the night before the road trip. I wore one of the dresses I got from Ann Taylor LOFT to church. it’s so comfy!
Good news! I think my knee is getting better. It was a tiny bit stiff when I woke up this morning but I can walk normally today. I am so excited that it’s not getting worse or staying the same. Hopefully in a couple more days I can try and easy run at a hotel gym and won’t have any problems. I am really hoping this is the case, because I want to chat with yall about my half marathon training plans and hopefully get some feedback.
Some of you were asking where on my knee it hurts, so here is a picture to give you an idea. It’s right in the bend and sometimes feels behind and in front of my knee when I straighten or bend my knee and tuck it up into my chest. Where my thumb is, that is the general area of pain. It is tender to the touch if I push hard on that bone there I guess? (Is it a bone? This shows my incompetence.)
gotta drive!
QOTD: What is your favorite road trip snack?
-Don’t forget to check out my Running skirt’s page, and if you don’t follow me on Twitter or my Facebook fan page you can do so on the right sidebar. You can also subscribe to my blog from there!
Have a fun, safe trip! And great news about the knee! I hope your next run is painfree!
I loved reading about your vacation! Looks like you had a fabulous time! I hope you have a very succcessful trip this week!! Good to hear your knee is feeling better. As a fellow runner, it is so frustrating to experience pain and not know what it is!
Great news about your knee. Enjoy the road trip!
Side note: love the Loft!
I am glad your knee is feeling better! If I am correct speaking from a previous knee injury where your thumb is that is where the IT band connects to your knee. I am glad the rest/time off helped decrease all the swelling and pain!
I always pack snack for my road trips like sliced apples, Lara bars, protein shakes, PB&J sandwich, and carrot sticks. Have a great week traveling.
Have a great road trip! Great that your mom is going with you!
We always like to have a cooler with water and powerade zero (maybe a diet coke), peanut m&m’s, beef jerky, some kind of chips, and usually japanese rice crackers. Homemade cookies are also always good. Fruit is probably a good idea, too. You should just have your salty, sweet, and fruit, and be good to go…
Have a fun and safe trip.
ooo gosh i hope it is better soon! did u see a doctor?
