Most of the time I start a blog related to exercising and I either stop running or forget to write any posts. Thankfully in this case, the lack of articles is related to a busy schedule and doctor's appointments, and we are still "on the run".
In the past few weeks my husband and I, as well as my sister for a few days, have increased our distance of walking and running to the length of a 5k. The road that we live on can equal over 3 miles of winding, uphill and downhill cement. Although we are just running 60 seconds and walking 90 seconds, we are feeling challenged and see improvements.
My husband has been facing some different obstacles of late. He has a developed a lump between his thumb and pointer finger, that has significantly enlarged in the last three weeks. We have been to a few doctor's appointments, he had an ultrasound and MRI to determine whether it is a complex cyst or tumor (cancerous or otherwise). At this point, we are awaiting the call regarding our scheduled visit with a hand specialist surgeon.
Last week Daniel also got the opportunity to experience a real mountain biking trail ride. He, along with his coworker, drove up Lookout Mountain to bike a route in Cloudland Canyon. They road for an hour before moving on to a round of disc golf. Even though this doesn't seem like much, it is a gigantic improvement from my husband's past.
Neither of us were good at exercising beyond normal day to day activities in and out of work. Then our daughter was born and we both began gaining multiple health problems. Since we have started running and walking multiple times a week, and working up a good sweat, we both feel better and are finally starting to look better.
In conclusion, I am still here, sorry for the hiatus. For now it is back to a semi-normal routine, while we await results of Daniel's scans. I will most certainly work on posting more updates and discoveries while we improve our running times and distances, training for an upcoming 5k!
