Yeah! New week, leg is AWESOME!!! My hubby is watching me like a hawk, so I don't go running somewhere. He is normally very relaxed and not overly involved, but he can see the spark of excitement in my eye and vividly remembers all of the bawling after each relapse. He's a sweetie pie, but mainly he HATES it when I am crying. I am WAY more fun when I am not hysterical grieving the loss of running. How's that for dramatic :D
Have a GREAT week and according to the doc, I should be able to run Wednesday... hopefully...fingers crossed!!!
Run you crazy running people, run like the wind- and run an extra mile for me!!!
Oh, I tried to post the fire pictures here, but to no avail. They are on my meltingmarion.blogspot.com blog though. They were taken less than a mile from my home. | | Comments(3) |

Have a great day everyone!!! | | Comments(6) |

Dr Appt today at 2:15 with Dr Brady. I sure hope it goes well. My sister-in-law from CA is here and I REALLY wish I could run with her. Oh well... next year :)
Have a great day!
Dr Report- My leg has healed very well. Better than he had expected :D ANyway- he has cleared me for 10-15 miles in the next 7 days. No running 2 days in a row. 15-20 next week. I am going to be a bit more conservative, 10 this week (wed- wed). Anyway- tomorrow morning I am going to try one mile. I am SO excited!!!! He said I should be back up to 28-30 within 3 weeks. I am way less optimistic than he is. I am SO AFRAID to get hurt again!!!
ACTUAL RUNNING :D-- ONE mile 12:19 pace. I walked a half mile, ran a mile and walked a half mile. I'm off to scrape, massage, stretch and ice. It felt fine. I was majorly paranoid. I suppose I will be less stressed ifter a while. It was funny to listen to various muscles saying "hey, what are you doing?" | | Comments(12) |

Hello fellow runners! Yes, I am a runner again, all be it pathetic :) Today, no running. Dr Brady said no two days in a row for this week. So, tomorrow I will be doing the one mile thing then next monday I will try two miles one mile, two miles, one mile, etc. Then the next week 2-3-2-3-2-3, then 3-4-3-4-3 etc.
Today I am going to go on a few easy day hikes, so I'll take my garmin to clock my miles. I have got to count something for miles. I feel so naked without any miles.
Have a GREAT day and NO MORE INJURED FBR'S!!! | | Comments(8) |

42:22, 13:58 ave pace (1 mile walking), best 5:36? (I don't think so),Laps- 11:31,10:55
I could not sleep this morning. I was too excited, so I got up and ran. Can you believe I said that? "I got up and ran this morning!" How cool is that? My calf was 100%, not a twinge, nothing. My hamstrings were a little irritated with me and my heart was not really happy to be beating again. Oh and the lungs were a little in shock, but the calves were thrilled to be there and so was I :D I saw a really ugly dog and a dead bat. I took my phone so I wouldn't need one, for luck you know. You never need one when you have one ;D Yoga tomorrow and then 3 miles on Saturday. Dr said 10 -15 miles for the first week, so 10 running miles, 15 including the walking. I figure that will work.
Ok- I jumped on the tramp with my kids last night. I am pretty lame. Once that was obvious, I did a head stand on the tramp and impressed everyone! Some of the other tricks I tried were none to successful. I thought I had broken my neck with a few of them, but everything is OK this morning.
Have a great day!!!! "It's a beautiful day in then neighborhood...." | | Comments(10) |

This is my LAST 0 miles day (except sunday) FOREVER and the rest of my life :) I saw the dead bat, so that means no more injuries for at least 20 years, right? (see yesterdays comments to understand the dead bad omen)
Good luck to you all in your races and long runs tomorrow! I am going to try 3 and see how it goes. The legs are great! :) Oh, and they feel good too ;D
Oh- I bought a bunch of shock bloc's and jelly beans. I am very excited to start long runs again in a few weeks (next month, actually)
Hope you all see a dead bat soon!
30 min yoga :D | | Comments(3) |

12:30 average for the running. I am trying not to obsess about pace, thus I am not paying attention to the garmin.
The running part of this morning was great. I woke up with a massive migraine and ran anyway. This usually helps the head. NOT TODAY. Oh my gosh, I pretty much wanted to DIE the whole run. Again, the legs felt GREAT and the running natural and NICE. The head was a BEAST!!! I can't believe my brain would try to ruin a perfectly good running day ;)
I took my first ice bath. HOLY CRAP!!! 23 min until the ice was gone. Then I showered in HOT and then took a hot bath until my legs were defrosted. They feel AWESOME now :D
Question about order of events: Walk, stretch, run, walk, stretch, ice bath, hot bath, eat, session of yoga later in the day? What do you think?
Runners are NUTS!!!! ;D I have always know than I am nuts, now I know where I fit in :) | | Comments(8) |
