The itch to run... (haha)

The title of this post cracked me up. Here's why:

I had plans to start running again this week. About 3 weeks ago, I got an itchy spot on my back. Then I got a few more. And then a few more. They appeared ALL over my back, my arms and my neck. I made an appointment to see our NP, and she gave me a few prescriptions. At the pharmacy, the pharmacist was explaining the cream, and then she asked why I needed it. She asked if I had a specific rash (I can't remember the name) and she said, "Oh! I had that! It's worse if you exercise or sweat." So... great. I'm putting off running, because it's itchy enough as it is!

But I'm still helping with the Learn to Run class. The ladies are up to run 3 minutes, walk 2 minutes. There were a few of them who said that they'd "NEVER" be able to run that, and I told them they'd be surprised. They all did it, and were all smiling at the end! Everyone is doing really well. A lot of them have signed up for the Colour Run, and I just registed to volunteer.

I am still planning to run the 10k trail run in August. That's the plan.... hopefully this rash will go away ASAP and I can get back out there!

Catching Up

I haven't posted since Little Fox's birthday party. I haven't been doing much running, and nothing really exciting has happened. So here are some photos and updates on the day to day around here.

Cottage season has started. We spent a long time getting Cottage 3 ready. Cottage 2 is half ready, and Cottage 1 needs some work!


 
Little Fox and I have been spending some time at the beach. 

 
I've been helping with a Learn To Run program in Kensington. I wanted to help with one before volunteering to lead one on my own. It's going well so far!

 
My birthday was on the 13th. The newest Diana Gabaldon book was (finally) out on the 10th,  so I went shopping. Thanks Mom!
 
 
Molly found a family of baby bunnies. We kept them in a basket for a while so Little Fox could see them, and then put them back outside. Hopefully Molly won't find them again. The bunnies all crawled up into a big pile. Here's 7 of the 9 bunny-butts. 

 
I've been doing some crafty stuff for the cottages. 



 


Last night was our niece's prom, so we went to see her in her dress and get some photos. It's too bad that it was raining and so cold!
Red Fox is going offshore for the month of July. I'm mentally preparing myself for running this place without him!
