Running Totals for 29 Jul 09

Well today my new braces arrived and for the first time I got to run in them. They worked like a charm. They had me a little worried at the beginning because it still hurt a little when I started my run but once I got warmed up things went pretty smooth. On the other hand I think I do have a UTI. I will pick up some very nasty cranberry juice and see if that helps at all and if not then it will be a trip to the hospital to get some meds to get it taken care of. I haven't passed a stone though so I wonder if I haven't been drinking enough water. I don't know how that is possible because I have a bottle of water in my hand at all times it seems. I don't exactly know what triggers UTI's but it is what it is. Whatever it is I guess I need to get it taken care of. My goodness, it is one problem after another. I need to get healthy and stay there this time!! Anyways, today I ran 7.53 miles, burned 1,351 calories, and I ran for 72 minutes. It was a good run. The reason I know it was a good run is because people in the gym on the treadmills around me try and keep up with what I am doing. Dare I say treadmill groupies. Anyhow, until next time...

Treadmill groupies, who would have though. It is fun to motivate fellow runners. You need to get that UTI problem fixed soon. I know you are drinking all the time, but if you sweat like I do, you need to drink a lot. Looks like your speed is starting to pick up. I am still struggling with that, staying at 5.0 or 5.5 miles per hour. I ran for 6.10 miles which took 67 minutes and burned 1059 calories. I think I will stay at 32 miles for awhile and try and pick up my speed to at least 10 minute miles before I add any more miles on. You take care. love ya dad

I am sorry you are having UTI problems. It seems like you just can't get rid of that problem. I worry about you getting them. Please take care of your self and drink lots of water and force yourself to drink some cranberry juice it might help. I love and miss you tons. Be safe. Love ya. Mom

I was going to drink some cranberry juice today but wouldn't you know it, there is none to be found on this stupid base. Now that I've passed that stone it doesn't bother me that much anymore. So I hope that it will go away just like the stone did.

Love ya, Brandon
