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 …
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 …
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 …
I'm late on writing this blog, but better late than never. Work has been insanely busy and have no energy to do much else. My mood on Monday was very mixed. Work was nearly too much. In the afternoon I knew I had to take care of another piece of my dad's estate. Anything to …
I woke up crying and still crying...and it's not even noon yet. I decided to jump out for a run before 9 am. Sun was shining and my heart craved that Vitamin D. When I run, I listen to a live country station out of Nashville. Of course, I know it's Father's Day. DJ was …
