Wedding is over....

So yesterday my little sis got married,

It was a great day filled with alot of laughs and a few tears. I shed a few tears during the ceremony seeing how happy my sister was and how great her day was.

I had the job of an usher/bouncer keeping people off the center isle, so that felt like home to me. I was in charge of opening the doors to the hall as the bride maids and then the bride walked in, after the wedding we went and did family photos then the wedding party went off and did others ones, I went along to help out however I could, and they are going to have awesome pics.


At the dinner, I was about the4th person to get up and give a speech, I was trying not to ruin my reputation as a cop by crying but I let a few tears go. ( It is my baby sister)


The groom came up after the reception and told me my speech was 1 of the 2 that made him cry, we share a different relationship where we are good friends, but since my sister and him broke up a few times we had to put our friendship on hold as I told him the things he had to hear!




But now I couldn't be more happy for the two of them,


Love ya Adam and Beth

Wedding Bells....

Well today my little sis is getting married,
Just for fun I decided to cut my hair and have a MoHawk, I did it yesterday and my sis flipped when she saw it, I told her I was keeping it, She said she'd call mom if I didn't cut it, So I left it till this morning, when I woke up the girls were heading out to get there hair done, and again mt sis said she'll never speak to me if I leave it.....lol
So I need to run and get my hair cut and shave and find a suit to wear since I'n a usher,

Physio


Well I went to Physio yesterday....

The guy performed alot of tests on my legs and back to find out what issues I have, After he listed off all the issues it made sense way I have pain.


The main thing is that I was weak abductors (well really weak) and my right Quad is 4.5 cm smaller then my left, that's from after my ACL surgery. He said that 2cm is a significant amount so 4.5 will require some work.


Also once we fix all these issues we found out that my right leg is alittle longer then my right, he thinks he could be all the muscle issues cause my pelvis to tilt making one leg longer, anyways He gave me a bunch of exercises to work on and I'll go back in 2 weeks.


Enough about my problems, I need some sleep, It was a long night shift, off to bed to wake up in 5hrs for a massage.

5km run...


It was soo nice out today so I wanted to get out for a run today before I headed to work tonight. I decided to do a 5km distance, which before would have been a breeze, but I have to push it now.


So I left for the run with the goal of 35mins as a realistic goal for the 5km, I headed out with my new shoes and they felt great, I was feeling good, but as I made the turn at halfway I realized that I had to push it alittle on the way back.


There's one section near the end that's a steady climb and as I got there I was feeling alittle gassed, but i dug deep and picked up the pace when I started to slow and to my surprise I finished the 5km at 28mins 43secs... I was pumped.


On my lunch break tonight I may hit the gym and do some biking...

Work and Play


I was working again yesterday, It was a beautiful day here in the city it was around 8 degrees in the morning when I drove my bike into work but it warmed up to 21 degrees, I was walking the beat up didn't spend much time on it, I spent most of the day in the office doing paperwork.

Alot of time people don't realize how much paperwork is behind the work police do.


Well when My shift was over I was dead, two nights in a row I didn't get much sleep and lst night was the same, I went over to a buddies place from my cadet class to watch the Monday Night Football game, which was a really good game....It went down to the wire and Miami choked on the 2 min drill....I know what they will be practicing this week.


Again it is a beautiful day here so I think I'll be off for a run to get some miles in before working tonight.

On my Lunch hour I went to the gym and got on the Bike for about 40mins, which felt great I did some hard sprints and the legs got a good workout.

New shoes...

Well I can definitely say that I have new shoes!

In the last 24hrs I've had 3 pairs of new running shoes.
I first bought a pair of Nike running shoes, but I take a neutral shoes, and I needed alittle wider shoes, I took the Nike's for a run but found that they were too narrow and hurt my foot....So those went back!
Next I bought a pair of saucony running shoes because they tend to run wider, before I even tried them out I was at another store and found another pair of Saucony's that I like better so I got those, I'll take the second ones back tomorrow!
I Just hate when I'm returning stuff I found the stores try to make you feel like a criminal, But they are going back! ....lol

Question?

Hello all,
I've been looking at used exercise bikes, thinking about picking one up for the winter, I was just looking for some tips about what I should look for, what to stay away from, or will any exercise bike do the trick?

Just one step....

So I had a full day today, I was running around and also got in a 2 hour game of tennis, My tennis game was actually looking really good.

Tonight when H was at my sisters wedding shower I decided to go for another run, the run was the same one I had alittle trouble with last night.


So I started my run (with my new shoes) and I headed out, I came to the big hill where I had issues the other night, but I took a big bite of pride and I made it up, only to to down the other side turn around and go back up it again..... I was doing good until the last little hill i just wanted to walk for alittle bit, I started to feel the pain and just for one step I stopped to walk, then I yelled at myself (yes out loud) and started running again, for the next little while my muscles were yelling at me and I was yelling back at them, good thing nobody was around...lol

It feels good to be back at it again, still have a long road ahead this Fall/winter to get back into shape.
