Hurting

Sunday marks 7 weeks to the marathon. Unfortunately, I'm hurting.  It's my right hip / quad.  Some days it's the hip, some days it's the quad?  It actually gets better as I run, but never completely goes away.  I'm 90% sure it's not a stress fracture.

My blood sugars have been pretty good, no major complaints in that department.  I've actually been having some serious issues with my Transmitter on the CGMS.  The problem is that I can't keep a signal between my pump and transmitter for more than 2 hours.  I've been on the phone with the help line, and they tell me that everything checks out ok.  But I'm sure something is wrong, I talked to my WONDERFUL Medtronic nurse, and she has loaned me a transmitter.  Voila!  I haven't lost a signal in over 2 weeks.  I'm working on getting  a new one from Medtronic. I spoke to them today and it sounds like I've been approved (probably b/c my initial sensor came from the money out of my pocket)!  Anywho, I should be getting my new sensor in the next couple of weeks.

I went by the local running store here in Newport, KY this evening, and told them of the issues of my hip.  Ann, the guru there gave me some exercises to do in order to strengthen the area.  So, immediately after I spoke to her, I was off to Target to buy some Pilates bands.  I did 50 exercises with each leg, and I will tomorrow.  Hopefully my pain will subside!

I've made a promise to myself, to start posting atleast.......once a week.  I'm going to try like hell to get something in.  Even though I don't think it's important to anyone else, I know how I feel when I go to the other blogs and nothing is updated.
