I looked at my last blog and didn't realize it's been nearly three months. Work and life are busy, but good. Weather is becoming so amazing. Come on summer. Come on heat. Come on humidity. I want it all. I have been going back and forth on whether or not I will continue writing my …
Fartlek. Fart lick. Fart leck. Fartlek is by the far the oddest term I ever learned in my running days. It's odd to say it out loud, but actually doing this is so beneficial to runners. While I no longer run, I wondered if I could somehow achieve this on the elliptical. Fartlek is running …
I did not realize I haven't written in over a month. I am way behind. I have full intentions to do so in my mind, but work is super busy. By the time I get around to it, I'm a tad exhausted. Yep....I'm full of excuses. I'm so glad to be back at work. I …
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 …
Eight days ago I had my hip replacement surgery. I am just now blogging about it, primarily because I am just now getting the pain under control and can focus better. I’ll carry my followers through what my manager described as ‘hellacious hip replacement recovery misadventures’. She has kept in close contact. She even gifted …
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 did what I said...I ran three times this week....AND blogging after each one. I felt even more motivated today. I know next week I'm pretty much out of commission on running so I couldn't pass up the moment. Today was run #4. It rained a monsoon yesterday afternoon, and was cloudy for the most …
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 …
