Recovery and Running

It doesn't feel like a normal Monday in our house because Kyle is off work. After his surgery last week he is on convalescent leave for 7 days. Speaking of the his surgery, it went really well. The doctor said everything went according to plan and that we will begin to see results in 3 months, however the full effect of those results won't be seen for roughly 12 months. It is still a step in the right direction and something that needed to happen. Now we don't know for 100% certainty that the problem is on his end because I could still miscarry but we are willing to do whatever is necessary. 

His recovery is going well but he is sore and uncomfortable, plus it doesn't help that he can't do anything physical besides walking for 4 weeks. Try telling that to a very active and fit soldier, it doesn't go over well. I am basically the enforcer of said restrictions lol.

Since Kyle is sidelined I ran another race solo on Saturday morning, Running for a Cure 5k. This one was very special because it was for cancer and I ran it in memory of my amazing Mom, Kathy. I felt her the whole way and just wanted to honor her in the best way I could. 



I felt really good this race, that hasn't been something I have felt lately. I look at these pictures and I realize that I don't need to be stick thin, I would rather be fit and healthy. To me these photos show that. I know my Mom would be proud of how far I have come.

This upcoming week is going to be busy, taking care of vehicle inspections, oil changes, cleaning, and running various other errands that didn't happen last week. :)

I hope you all had a good weekend!
