My legs have been feeling better IN SPITE OF THIS HORRIBLE WEATHER!!! i had to get my tire fixed (turns out I had 2 bent rims! After Barwis, on my way home on Monday, I tried to avoid a large pothole and instead, I fell off of the world! I took my car in on Tuesday (I didn’t notice low tire pressure until I got to work) they over-filled my tire and I took it back to Les Stanford on Wednesday morning. They took me to work after I dropped my car off and picked me up). I was late to Barwis because all of this.
Phil stretched me out at the Keiser machine and I did a few stands. Standing was REALLY hard for me! I thought that Phil saw the struggle on my face. It was so difficult that I was letting go of ideas of it being a “Walking Wednesday” but then Phil pointed to the turf and told me to go that way. I excitedly asked, “We’re walking?!” He replied with a small smile, “We’re gonna try.” That was good enough for me! I was excited and was willing myself to walk over and over in my head. Lindsay came over to help and I stood. Phil was giving me directions on how I should have my body engaged as I took my steps. I got 9 yards on my first drive. I was SO excited to have gotten steps off! My second drive (I only got 2 because I was late) I got 8 more! I got a total of 17 yards yesterday!
TOTAL YARDAGE = 195 AND 2 STEPS
Phil took me out to my car and I got in ALL BY MYSELF!!! We fist bumped. Just normally, no “joysticks!” This was the second time that we did this. He said that I did a “good job” and that he was proud of my 17 yards. Me too!!!
Now, I’ve told Phil that our photo opp is coming up and I think he wants to flake! That will TOTALLY bum me out!!! We have said before that it will have to be a selfie because Phil is my Barwis photographer. He has to take it because his arms are longer than mine! I told him that I’m going to put it on Twitter and we will trend #DaisyandPhil because that’s us! He’s not really going for that though…

Phil (I was working with him today) came over to sit as Brock and I were talking. It was so COOL talking with Brock!!! I needed that boost today. I needed that reminder that it IS possible! Bock told me he does back pedal at times (like I feel like I am right now!) but he said he comes back stronger. After Phil called me, “chatty Cathy” I said my goodbye to Brock and went over to start working. Phil could see that I was so star struck having seen Brock, he asked why I didn’t take a picture? I told him that I didn’t have my phone so he calls Brock over said he would take the picture and send it to me.
I posted this on 11.27.13 about “Walking Wednesday” #8 back when I only had clocked 101 yards.
Phil took a picture of Jesse and me. I look really tired because I was. I told Jesse that I would send him a pic of my camo shirt when I get one. I promised to wear it every Wednesday like I do my socks. I told Phil that our photo opp will come at 200 yards.
Maybe I can guilt him into taking the pic of us. Next “Walking Wednesday” IS my birthday…
