Dang, this week sure flew by but another great week to put in the books for me. I was looking at my instagram the other day and someone posted about how we can choose to be positive or negative about our situation and life. I totally agree. I feel like when I am nagging and negative, I feel sucky but when I am happy and positive the world is just a better place. It is so simple to say things that aren't very nice. For example, Steve and I were at the ISU soccer game today in Logan and there was this Utah State fan yelling at the ref and just yacking his mouth. One of the ISU fans started to say could you shut up and other stuff that wasn't so nice. And then you can probably imagine what happen a few exchanged words that are bad ones may I add. In the end the Utah State fan was just being a little loud, but I think the ISU fan could of just ignored the man like everyone else was doing. That probably wasn't that great of an example, but you get the point. Like my mom taught me, if you aren't going to say something nice to say then don't say anything at all. By the way, we lost 3-5. We learn from our mistakes, chin up Bengals.

So I volunteered on Saturday to help out with the Big Cottonwood Canyon Marathon and was it crazy! I have never been to a marathon. I volunteered through my work and we were in charge of helping runners and medical care. I was nervous not going to lie. I had to pop blisters then wrap em up, had to worry about people being dehydrated and passing out, help with cramping by giving the runners ice, muscle rub, ibuprofen or a wet towel most of the runners just wanted some TLC. But no joke, we had all sorts of gadgets and thingy mabos, all that stuff was for the nurses thank goodness. After my feet were killing me. I felt like I ran at least the half marathon :) I can't wait to be able to run one though, it was so amazing to help out.

My achilles tendinitis is getting better. YEEAAAAHH! I haven't worked out since Wednesday, unfortunately, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I had one of the PT that I work for to tape it for me. I am now a firm believer of kinesotaping. At first I thought cool a tape that helps with injured tendons and muscles, but now I am like HALLEJUAH!! I have been doing ice massages and stretching mostly, sometimes heel raises when, I remember, but overall it feels a ton better. I am hoping I will be able to start working out on Tuesday.

Tomorrow I go in to get my 10th biopsy, hopefully the last time they are going through my neck. Crossing my fingers. And I have another echo and visit with my lovely docs. I'm hoping for another "Everything is looking great" visit.

Thank you for your support through my journey, you guys are amazing!
