Today started off bright and early at 6:00 a.m. with an egg white omelet, homemade potatoes, and cereal for breakfast. I went for a 5 mile run and it went really well...UNTIL...I was walking back up the hill to my apartment and got a piercing pain in my knee that ran up through my leg. I doubled over completely in pain...I even shed a few tears :( Then it happened a few more times to where I had to limp back home. I'm not sure what is wrong with my knee/leg but I am going to head to the doctor Monday morning at the clinic on campus. I think I may have to pull out of the race in Melbourne...it's only 3 weeks away and if I can't run now I won't be ready...and I don't want to create a serious injury by pushing myself. However, the doctor may say it is something I just push through the pain and it will get better? HOPEFULLY...but I'm thinking I might need a type of cloth brace or something...theyll be able totell me what I need to do.
Well enough of the complaining. Later in the morning I left Brisbane to go to the city of Toowoomba to see the Flower Festival with a friend. We left not realizing for 1. it was in another city and for 2. it was 2 hours away! That caught me by surprise but once I accepted it the fact it would be a long day, it was really fun! The flower displays were throughout the city in multiple parks and there was also a nearby carnival going on with rides, games, and of course the usual carnival foods. To top it off there was live entertainment; belly dancers were strutting their stuff as they made their way from park to park. After a long day of walking around we went to a nice little cafe and had hot chocolate and tea (I had hot chocolate of course).
Tonight will consist of a relaxing night curled up with the girls with a NOT so relaxing movie: Lord of the Rings...the movie really gives me the creeps after being traumatized by my brothers and sister when I was little. "Smigle" really scares me...need I say more. Ice cream and a movie Saturday night with some amazing friends? Who could ask for more.
