I’m not into the ‘new year, new me’ saying. It’s still me; but I just need to do better. Who doesn’t? I didn’t do the elliptical for a week. I knew I had a big event a few days ago that would test my walking abilities so I made sure I rested my new hip …
I’ll soon be six weeks post op. I had to humble myself and ask for something for sleep. Since surgery, I have been slept a total of four hours each night. There is no comfortable position and I feel every movement, which keeps me awake. My surgeon suggested different things to where I’m learning to …
Today is four weeks since my hip was replaced. The first two weeks were pure hell. I cannot and will not sugar coat it. I got tired of people telling me hip is easier than knee. They aren’t me. From someone who was an avid runner and never stopped, this was excruciatingly difficult. The pain …
It has taken me a week to finally decide to talk about this. People tell me hip replacement isn’t as bad as knee replacement. STFU. It’s still a major joint. Quit fbombing downplaying it. I can handle pain. I refused all pain meds prior to surgery and pushed through. This pain was unbearable. For two …
I haven't written in nearly a month. I was on vacation. I was out of town for work. Well...life happens. Today I did run #8. I didn't post about run #5, #6, or #7. There wasn't much to blog about so I'll leave it that. I feel like I'm reaching turtle status of a runner. …
I'm on a roll. Run #3 with a blog to boot. I know I won't have a chance at all to run next week, so I'm really trying to get three runs this week. Hope to do it again on Friday. Rain and thunder was pretty heavy most of the morning. I didn't think it …
I'm going to consciously write a blog each time I run now as I'm counting up to how many runs I can get in before surgery. I'm contemplating not renewing my blog this fall. I have been writing on here for four years and sharing many ups and downs in life, but life is super …
My blog writing has slowed. Work is busy and I'm trying to slow down to enjoy life. I am rarely on the computer after hours. When I run, I always tell myself I'm going to blog about this moment, but then I just take a technological break from life and never follow through. I know …
I’m still running. AMA - but I’m still running. I just had my second X-ray injection a couple weeks ago and not sure what happened. I feel slower and just not myself. However, it could also be the high humidity has set in around here. I don’t know, but I’ll still stay at it. My …
Let’s pause to think of all the soldiers who died for our freedoms. Freedom to write this blog. Freedom for my rights. I salute and honor you all. Now I shall begin my post. I haven’t written lately. Traveling for work and then I had to take a short break due to my damn hip …
