And it's not even over! Started off my Saturday at the local high school craft fair. They host it ever year as a fund raiser for the drill team, The Pacesetters. Who doesn't love a good drill team? We take our cheerleading AND our drill teams very seriously here in Texas. So my mom and I set out to see what kind of damage we could do. Oh, I scored BIG! I have a lot of little girls in my life and I found the cutest dog purses and beaded necklaces. Only $5 each - what a deal! Snagged some yummy pumpkin dip mixes, a vintage Bingo card, some adorable Christmas cups and...a PHS tee shirt! I didn't go to school there, but I live here. I pay school taxes here and hey, it is a good cause.
Made it home in time to put our our Halloween decorations, or at least some of them. That paper skeleton has been a part of my Halloween since I was a very small child. My mom gave it to us when we got our house. He's got years of yellowed tape on him and I just love him!
Then installed myself on the sofa to watch some college football. Not just any game, the Texas v OU game! It was an exciting and nerve wracking game, but Texas won, OC. 16-13. Hook 'em Horns! Here I am getting ready for my afternoon run. Do you know how difficult it is to take a photo your both your hat AND your knee all the in same photo? By yourself? Not an easy task. I did have to take a few because the first several were all Meghan McCain. It's a difficult angle.
This was my first run with the kinesio tape. My doctor said about 50% of patients think it's a miracle and 50% think, eh. Clearly I was hoping to be in the whoopee category. She asked me to try 6 miles. So figured 8 would be a good test. Check that mileage on my Run'd Performance. 10 miles baby! 10 pain free, glorious miles!!! It worked! I haven't felt that good during or after a run in well over a month. What an amazing feeling!!! I'm once again hopeful. I go back to see her on Monday and I'm going to buy a case of kinesio tape and probably stock in the company. This stuff is amazing!
Off to enjoy my Sunday afternoon with Hubs. Can't wait to read all the Nike Women's Marathon race reports!
Yumm, pumpkin dip. I must be feeling better..
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a nice weekend, I hope your run went well!
So glad that the tape was MAGICAL like you hoped! Maybe I should start taping too - it looks all hard core :)
ReplyDeleteHey there! This is my first time stopping by! Loved the update :) What exactly does Kinesio tape help with? from the placement in the picture I would assume the knee--which is what I am hoping for as I , too, have some knee issues! Can't wait to hear more about your adventures! Happy Running :D
