Humm, well that stunk.  Plan was to try and force myself to go 12 but either my pain threshold has gone down or I'm in worse shape now than 2 weeks ago.  So much for taking time off.  Did 4 miles in about 31 minutes called it quits and hit the elliptical for 60 minutes.  Then went and did weights/ plyo type exercises for 30 minutes.  2 hours total.

Now for the long flight home,  next time I go to bed it will be in my own bed.  Gotta say though, Istanbul is on my top 5 list of favorite places I've been.   If you ever get a chance to come here don't pass it up, it's been a really great trip.

Turkey, huh? Went on a Mediterranean cruise a couple years ago and hit Ephesus. It was our favorite stop! Reminded me a lot of Utah in the spring, but it stays that way year round. Truly beautiful.

Sorry about the leg - these darn injuries must be contagious this year :(

Rob, sorry! I was logged in as my sister (helping her with some pics on her blog). I noticed when it posted it was her, but it's not - it was me!

Have a safe trip.

Have a safe flight!!! I could barely handle my 1.5 hour flight from Phoenix without losing my mind and my cookies So I am pretty sure Istanbul would never happen here!

Impressive hours on the elliptical, BTW. I can do 20 minutes TOPS and my feet are completely asleep.

Yeah Kelli, Dr. Brinton. I called and made an appointment the day you suggested him. BTW, I hate the elliptical.

The same day? I've been trying to call and I can't ever get someone to answer the dang phones! I must have the wrong number. Kelli, would you send it to me? Or Rob - when you get your head out of the clouds? :)

Good luck ROB! Hope it goes well. He may not know who I am (I have been in twice since February)---just mention the girl with the slip on the ice BUTT injury, I am sure THAT he can not forget. He is a great guy. I am sure you will be happy.

He is not super hard to get in to see, I went the same day I called one of the times and the next day the second time.
