I know by now you’re all sick of hearing me complain about whatever is wrong with my groin/hip and referred pain throughout my leg. Colin told me not to make my blog into a “poor me” blog. He usually lets me be a baby around him so you guys get the upbeat, positive side of Ali Mc – my co-workers also have to face the wrath of complaining Ali

However – I don’t want to lie to you guys and say everything is great, because it’s not at all. I feel like a wild horse that has finally admitted defeat. That’s a hard feeling to process. Last night just walking around at work I was in constant pain. Then the worst thing happened – my other hip started to hurt in the groin area At least I wasn’t limping anymore, my co-worker Dana said it looked more like a waddle. Needless to say I won’t be running. At all. The new plan is do nothing until race day. Then run/walk to finish. 

It sucks.

In positive news the weather is AMAZING and thus spawns moments like these….

Logan will only wear his sunglasses upside-down….and actually since taking this picture Colin ran over them with his car = garbage. That’ll teach Logan to leave stuff lying around

It’s March Break – which means non-school children like Logan actually love to run across the road and play soccer on the blacktop….

So impressed with his skills. I don’t know if I told you but the little guy starts soccer at the end of the month I am so thrilled that he is already taking an interest, as I can’t wait to play this year too <—–haven’t signed myself up till the hip issue is cleared (too much money to lose)

With the amount of times Logan picked up the ball and threw it I can tell he’s going to be a pro at the “throw in” portion of the game

When all else fails there’s always backyard fun times …..

I am loving how interested in everything Logan is at this age. Such a big difference from last year. This morning he woke up, jumped into the bed, opened the blinds and said “BIRDS!!” followed by “Mars Bars” <—–what Colin hears, which of course is toddler for “More Birds” He is surprisingly really good at spotting them. lol

FINALLY…..

….the best surprise EVER!!!

Colin got some Altras, so now he has to take up running

What? you don’t wear your running shoes while on the couch in your PJ’s ???

Questions:

1. I don’t want to talk about my injury at all so tell me about your worst injury EVER! – doesn’t have to be running related. 

I have a few but the weirdest one was when I stepped on a dead catfish, someone had buried on the beach and a piece of it’s pectoral fin bone went up into my foot. The doctors thought it just went in and out but months later and numerous limping hockey games they decided to give me an xray – the fish bone was in the arch of my foot! surgery followed and I now have a huge scar on the bottom of my foot and a cool story to share

2. what have you been doing in this amazing weather??

3. anyone else doing the “Mad Abs March” ??? 

I am seriously LOVING it. I hope there’s one for April.
