Exercise week!

This has been a great week for me. First of all, it went really quick! Yay! Secondly, I worked out every day thus far, and I feel fantastic! I am trying to whip myself into 10k shape because the 10k I want to run is May 19th, and I want to do well. Well meaning at least as well as I have run my past 2 or maybe a little faster. That would be awesome. Reed has been keeping busy with school. He had a test this week, which kept him stressed and busy. He is currently playing tennis with a bunch of guys that include my brother Jon and some of his friends in his ward. Reed loves Saturday mornings because of its tennis possibilities, as long as the guys don't wimp out about it being too cold. :) Men! Anyway, tomorrow he is giving a talk in church, and I am teaching a primary class. Fun stuff! Oh, I had the funniest thing happen this week. I thought it was funny. I had to go to my ob's office to give blood so they could test my hormone levels to make sure they are coming down from the pregnancy, and they called me the next day to let me know the results. The first thing the nurse said was " You did miscarry." My first thought was, duh! Sorry, and not meant in a rude way, but that was not in any way surprising, and I didn't expect to have them confirm that for me. I just wanted to know if my levels were coming down. I could have confirmed the miscarriage for them already in so many ways!! :) Oh well, maybe it's still a bit of a sensitive subject. Really though, I feel that having already made new goals and having something else that's positive to focus on has helped me not to get depressed or really all that sad. I think I just have felt a little frustrated with my dr.'s office over the whole thing. que sera sera. Positive note: I'm going to go work out now and get some more frustration out. Reed should be home soon and we can have pancakes! Our Saturday morning tradition. :)

Alysa,

I just finally found your blog and what a treat! I had no idea that you had been pregnant. I am so sad that it ended. I know how you feel! I was told to wait 3 months too. :(
I just started up running myself! It is helping me emotionally. I signed up for The Great Potato 10k on May 17th. What race are you doing? I'm way out of shape and it has been really hard to run, but good.
Anyhow, I better go before this gets too long.
