Training & Health Drama

So I have decided that I would start logging my workouts for the week on Sunday's.  That way I can kind of hold myself accountable and to document my times.  So I managed three workouts and the long miles this week all on the elliptical

Monday - 2.46 miles for 30 minutes (12:12 per mile)
Tuesday - 2.50 miles for 30 minutes (12:00 per mile)
Thursday - 2.51 miles for 30 minutes (11:57 per mile)
Saturday - 4.03 miles for 43 min 25 seconds (10:46 per mile)

Keep in mind these are on the elliptical not the treadmill.  I like to do my 30 minute workouts on the elliptical (for the butt and arm works out) and I like to do my long run's on the treadmill or outside.  I went to the beach this weekend with some friends and it was way to cold and no sidewalks for me to do my run so I went to the cardio room and the treadmill was broken :(  But at least I got my miles in and I feel really good about the time.  I have really been pushing myself more and more expecially on my long runs.  I feel good about myself and I honestly want to work out more!!!  I had to stop myself a few times from going back to the workout room to get a few more miles under my belt and some weights.  I forgot how good it feels to workout!!!

Now while I am feeling really good about my workouts and my eating, I have another health scare that I am dealing with.  If you follow me on Instagram you will see that on Monday I had my follow up with my surgeon and I got cleared to run again and do crunches and lifting however, apparently they found some sort of a cyst in my abdomen when they were doing the surgery.  He wasn't able to get any good pictures so he wants me to have an ultrasound to try to rule out cancer.  It just seems like it's one thing after another with my health and I honestly had an emotional breakdown on Monday.  I came home and just laid in bed and did NOTHING, I didn't even watch TV.  I am doing better now but this health stuff is starting to wear on me.  I know that I don't have a diagnosis and that it's probably just a cyst and I will be fine but cancer is a really hard thing for me to deal with since it runs so rampant in my family.  Everyone on my mom's side has had skin cancer, my grandma on my mom's side died of colon cancer, and my dad died of cancer.  I have my ultrasound on Monday so I am hoping I get a clean bill of health.
