Not sleeping well after night shifts.  Joints, mostly hips and sciatica, to the feet.  I am really achy, like just after having a baby.  So  I guess I will try my hardest NOT to run today.  I really need new sneakers.  They are so destroyed from the 60 mpw.  I am sure this air quality isn't helping.   Oh well, fresh air coming up soon.  We are leaving for California on Saturday morning after  I work two more nights.  Hello  Palm tree, warm air running.   To think we have to escape to California for cleaner air?

No, I will be driving home from SUNNY California that day in time to work that night. I am not in the mood to race. More in the mood to read about being in a race : D. Lots of friends will be there so it should be fun for you all.

A) Get new shoes ASAP. Check out runningwarehouse.com. They have some 2009 model clearance right now! I love their 2 days free shipping.

B) What kind of nutrition are you taking in? Do you eat anti-oxidant rich food? Salmon, berries, food rich in Omega oils? How about vitamin C and zinc? I take Emergen-C Joint Health formula.

C) Have fun in California. This vacation is gonna be SO GOOD for you! Time to baby yourself a little, Julie!

Well enjoy that clean? California air :) Even more, enjoy not working and SLEEPING! I love emergen-C! Are you wearing good shoes to work to be on your feet all the time? I have heard a lot of nurses that swear by those new rocker shoes like what Reebok has--they say their feet don't hurt.

Thanks Smooth and April. Getting right on that--- emergenC, took out some of my frozen salmon for today, (I always cook with Olive oil), and will eat lots of frozen blueberries today. Probably need some zinc since my nerves are shot and getting some twitches in my face (that could be muscle related due to the braces). I get my braces off mid February and there is lots of movement happening with elastics on now. It has been a year. I guess I can wait one more month. So look forward to no teeth pain.
