Sore leg?

Am I the only one that just want to go go go? I want results NOW, or I have to go faster than advised or do more to achieve more, you know what I mean?

But I can't and I hate the feeling

I hurt my leg - not sure when or how, it just started hurting, gradually got worse to the point I could barely walk. So I gave it a couple of days rest and decided I had to try running again. Big fail.

It's been one week. My leg is still sore, not sure why it's not getting better? I have started taking anti-inflammatories... I don't know, I am scared that I won't be able to run in November, 5 weeks to go and I am back to square one!

So I am kinda bummed. No way I am giving up. I have lost 2.3kgs already and that feels awesome! On Saturday, because I could not run, I went bike riding instead. I biked for 7kms, really loved it - my legs didn't hurt at all, didn't even feel like I was exercising? Maybe my fitness level has improved after all! I will definitely be adding biking to my list of exercises to do. Go me!

In other news I have a lot going on on the side, life is really strange at the moment.

My hubby had spinal surgery last year at the tender age of 29. I became the main bread-winner at our house because surgery had a 9-12 months period of recovery. It has been just over one year and hubs could no longer just sit at home. We were struggling financially and he was getting really depressed about it. So he got himself a job, an apprenticeship which means pay is not great. And he is doing more heavy physical work. He has been doing it for 5 months now and his back is no good and he is in a lot of pain, to the point that he is thinking he cannot go on. Now, here is the deal. I love my hubby dearly, but when he is not doing much, he is a pain in the butt. He gets really bored, that turns into him over thinking everything, that gets him down and he gets really grumpy and hard to live with. It really affects the whole family dynamics, everyone suffers because of it. He has never done anything different in his life, office jobs are not an option, he has no qualifications apart from his carpentry one, so no one will hire him... he tried sales, did not work out.... we have no money for him to back to study. I just feel like we are stuck in a rut, always struggling to get by financially. I really can't see a solution to the problem and I am finding it very hard to stay positive. Any ideas, suggestions, anything?
