Hi Andy- hoping you had a great run as normal!!   And YES - baking with my granddaughter is the best!  When her sister was younger, they would both come and we would all bake together - the older one was a little lazier, but the younger one always wanted to take part in everything!   Usually every time she comes we have to make pumpkin bread - but this time we did homemade apple pie, and a new recipe that was delicious - blueberry cream cheese pie.  And we did sauce and meatballs with pasta for dinner.  She loves it.    Had my appt today - the doctor really doesn't feel like any thing is seriously damaged - thinks it's soft tissue damage that is taking time to heal.  (He actually remarked that I was in great shape!  lol  I said it sure doesn't feel like it!)  He is sending me to physical therapy - 2 -3 times/week for 4-6 weeks.  He thinks it will really help.  In the meantime I am lucky to have the dreaded elliptical - it really does make a difference.....even though I hate it! 

Let me know how things went! 

Hi - that hike sounds pretty brutal!  Hopefully your lets are well rested for your weekend running activities!  I have been using an infrared heating pad on my hamstring for a few months - it feels great but  not sure that it's doing anything.   I have an appointment tomorrow with the ortho doc!  Will keep you posted on that - I'm sure they won't see anything on x-ray so will have to try and approval for MRI scans.    I had my granddaughter for the past 2 days - it was so much fun.   We did some baking, cooking, shopping, and even did a workout together.  I love those kinds of days.   Good luck on Saturday - and let me know how it goes.

Hi Andy - you are on a roll with your runs!  The cat runs are my fav!  lol  Did you do the hike yesterday?  Hopefully the weather was good.  We are starting out today with some rain and it sounds like LOTS of rain coming for the rest of the week.  I am picking up my granddaughter today and she will stay until Thursday.  She lives 3 hours away so I don't get to see her much.  Her mom meets me halfway which is great.  She is 14.  We have a shopping day planned for tomorrow and then doing a little baking and cooking.  I finally made an appt with ortho doc for my hamstring - I go on Friday - hopefully will do scans to find out if there is a bigger issue.  I hope you have a great week!

Hello super Silver Fox !!!!
Im back 🙃 xx

Sounds blissful.  Enjoy chillin’ xx

Holiday from work, or away on a break?

Thanks so much for spotting my hummer xx

Our weather is the same -  crazy!   Monday night we had snow/sleet/rain - today was beautiful and sunny/warm.  Saturday is supposed to be near freezing temps again.   Mother Nature needs a prescription for different meds. 😎  I give you credit - you run in anything.  I'm a "fair weather girl."  That's one reason I have the treadmill.  lol    I did well on the elliptical - 47 minutes - but the past two days hamstring is killing me.   I can't see how it is because of the elliptical - I felt no pain doing it.  Wondering if I was sitting too long - choir practice, driving, play rehearsal - it's starting to get more than just annoying.  Hoping it's something stupid and feels better again in a day or two.
