And some days are not so good... I'm so ecstatic to be back in my game of running again. Today is officially two weeks since my ankle ortho released me, and I cannot be happier. I have seriously making every effort, but also being cautious. I'm not going to lie. I am a little gun …
I haven't written in a very long time. I started a new job which keeps me busy. I have been so grumpy with my stupid broken ankle. I just wasn't in the mood, or had a lot of time, to do anything. However, I received the best news ever on Tuesday. I was FINALLY, after …
It has been four months since I first injured my ankle, which turned out to be a fracture. I just graduated from a boot to a brace. Almost feeling normal being able to wear a left shoe again. My ankle ortho kept telling me I should take up cycling. With my already known hip degeneration …
I have not written about running, or lack of, or struggling with, since October. I love my happy blogs. When I found out a few months ago a hip replacement in my future, it knocked the wind out of my sails for a bit. However, I resolved the fact I was still going to run …
I can truly say..."Never Say Never". I ate those words last night. I used to cook monthly meals for my dad. I would freeze them so he could pull them down to thaw as he needed them. It helped me knowing he was getting a warm meal every day. And he loved the food....especially my …
Fall is here...with a freakin' vengeance! Tomorrow is Halloween. One of blog followers asked when I would do another food blog. It's been a long time. I just haven't been cooking or had the desire. I pulled 90 hours two weeks in a row. I'm not saying I worked 45 hours each week....NO...I worked 180 …
OK...I'm totally AMA today, but then when have I ever not been AMA when it came to me? (AMA - against medical advice) I thought long and hard about this whole hip situation that I have blogged many times regarding. My ortho said I 'shouldn't' run as that will speed up my hip replacement. Let's …
They say life is a rollercoaster. If you know me, you know I absolutely HATE rollercoasters. Motion sickness is horrific. I can't even watch them Today's blog is reaching the highest hill, going downhill, but instead of remaining on the tracks to take a curve, the carts are flying off the tracks and crashing at …
Do you ever get that feeling when someone 'suggests' something you should do, but you are not good at following orders? This was my last week. I've been doing AMAZING in my running. However, my hip pain is back. Push off is severe. Dang it. A week ago, I had to break down and visit …
I love pearls. I always have. My lifelong friend's grandmother gave me a 'fake' pearl necklace on my 16th birthday. I remember it so much. Kind of a funny laugh when I think about it. Miranda's dad was driving us to church. I was sitting behind Doug and his mom, Miranda's grandmother, was sitting next …
