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 …

A Tad AMA
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 …
Fbomb Rollercoasters…
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 …
You’re Not My Dad…
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 …
Sunday Funday Runday
It has been raining a monsoon lately. Many flash flood downpours. I didn't plan on running today, but when I checked the weather and saw I had enough time to jump outside before more rain, out the door I went. I didn't prepare for running. I wasn't hydrated enough. Typical Midwest weather. It was cloudy …
Back At It
To say I get 4-5 hours sleep a night is an understatement. My job is global. I am on a project that is trying to kill me. My Type A personality doesn't allow me to sleep much. I cannot turn off my brain and constantly think of what I have to do. I was talking …
Redid
Work has been crazy busy. I have been working on an excel file to the point I could barely hold my eyes open. Yesterday was beautiful so I thought I needed to separate and step out. I pulled my exhausted brain away from work and jumped outside. WOW. My smile was shining as bright as …
A Different Way…
I have really been battling hip pain trying to run or walk. Makes me beyond frustrated. Then the weather is turning colder and days are shorter. Just a double whammy of negativity. I'm starting to get a little lazy in my eating. That's a big no no. It has taken me eight months to get …
Take Right Hip Out
This is a record for me...three days in a row of writing blogs. AND I love I have over 200 followers. WOW. I hope you all read my boring blogs! BUT...this one is not a food blog. I hope this doesn't disappoint my food blog followers. I planned to stay in my dog jammies all …
To Walk or Not To Walk
Today was amazingly perfect weather for November. Not a cloud in the sky. I could not wait to get out and take advantage of this beautiful day. I met Sara for a walk. Today was a non-political, non-issue-solving kind of walk. We only talked about entertainment: books, movies, TV shows. The weather was too beautiful …
