withdiamonds at 11:45am on 17/12/2009I may be done with my MtYG story, and I may actually like it.
I may also be torn between GETTING THINGS DONE OMG and sitting and resting my leg. It's better, but it still hurts. I have a little over three weeks for it to be good enough to run/walk 26 miles on. Disney allows seven hours to complete the marathon, and I may need every second of it.
I'm starting to approach the age at which my mother had a heart attack and open heart surgery. It was a fluke thing, only one artery was obstructed, but I am pretty much her clone, so I went to see a cardiologist and tomorrow I'm having a stress test done. He seems to think I'm just fine, but Ashley wants me to have it done before I attempt a full marathon. Which I will now be mostly walking, but whatever. It's the thought that counts.
Anyway, it involves a treadmill, ten to fifteen minutes, and I'll probably need to run to get my heart rate high enough. It was scheduled for two weeks ago, but we changed it to tomorrow to give my leg more time to heal. I don't want this test to set me back, leg-wise, but I want to do it before the race. Stupid leg.
The cardiologist has run several marathons himself and is the one who immediately said "Buy new shoes!" when I mentioned my shins.
Larry got me a new treadmill for Christmas. It's coming Monday, although I think the girls will get to use it before me, when they're here for Christmas next week. I'm very excited, though. Partly for the treadmill, and partly because Larry was actually paying enough attention to know that's what I wanted.
I'm very excited also that TNT is syndicating Supernatural, now that they're about to hit the magic 100 episodes mark. I'm not sure I can manage another five weeks before the next new episode, though. Ashely thinks they're just being cruel.
