Miles, and miles, and KT tape too!

From the 8th through the 15th, I didn't run at all.  There was snow and school and other crap in my way.  Made up for that lack of running by running 19 miles in 3 days.  Dadgum!  Should have added a mile and gotten an even 20.  I'm just a silly goose.  Kept forgetting to charge the trusty Garmin so I wasn't keeping track.  Had I done that I soo would have added that extra mile!  I will break down the runs for you, because you are super excited about it.  Am I right??  Of course I am!  Okay.  Saturday I only did 4, but it was fun.  Met some of my favorite running buddies who I don't get to run with enough.  That evening I ran into one of them at the grocery store and she mentioned that a group was meeting Sunday morning for 10 miles.  Did  very well until the end.  My dadgum right knee started hurting!  Bad knee!  Monday, because it was MLK day and I had the day off, I ran 5.  That adds up to 19!  In 3 days! 
Which brings me to KT tape.  I got the last box at the local sporting goods store.  Awesome stuff!  Bob helped me tape my left knee, where I've been having IT band issues and I taped up my right knee.  I think my left knee is doing better so I'm not sure if the tape is helping or not.  The right knee, however, is a different story.  Ran yesterday (3 miles, an easy run) and had no pain!  It was great. 
Oh yeah!!  Got new running shoes!  They did not come in time for me to test them out yesterday.  Bummer. 
I will, of course, report back after I've run in them.  They are super cool looking.  That's what matters, right?!
Alrighty.  I'm really hyper for some reason.  I could type and type and type and type...  but I won't.  I will use this energy to do some homework.  Priorities!!  I've got 'em.

I would like to mention my most fabulous children.  Julianna made All-Region band in December.  The concert was this past Saturday.  It is amazing how good they sounded!  The regular band concerts are good, but get all the great kids together and it is just awesome.  Yay!  In February, Maggie will get to travel with other choir members to try out for All-State.  She will be an alternate, but still!  My kids rock!
