Short-Term Running Goals:

Recovering from micro-fracture surgery on my right knee.  I tore the cartilage off of my knee while doing a speed-training run one month before Boston.  Doc gave me a cortisone shot so that I was able to finish Boston.  After the surgery, I was told to never run again. :(

Long-Term Running Goals:

QUALIFIED FOR BOSTON! April 16, 2011 

Ran Boston on April 14, 2012!

"In truth, runners don't race other runners.  They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares.  And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better." Running for His Life by Michael Hall

I'M MELTING! One week with nothing but laying around and trying to stay off my feet!.  I got on the scale yesterday (first time since Vegas at 112.0) and I was 107! WHAT?  Are all of my muscles disintigrating?!  Deeeeppppprrrrrreeeeesssssseeeeedddddd! It is cold and rainy outside today, so at least I won't be seeing too many runners out today that I feel like running off the road in my Suburban! :) ha!

 

Oh, and just found out I got into the St. George Marathon! If I can just get this knee better, I will have something fun to look forward to!

I rode the bike for a little over an hour.  My knee was fine, but my hip was hurting.  Seriously....If it is not one thing it is another!  I see an orthopedic surgeon on Friday to see about my knee that has hurt since the marathon and my hip that has been hurting for 8 months. Yippee!

On a different topic...I have been trying to memorize the presidents and one interesting thing about each of them. While I was walking around Costco yesterday I saw a movie series by HBO on John Adams, so I started watching that while I peddled away on my bike.  I loved it.  Can't wait to see more.  I am going to make myself only watch it while I am in my dreaded basement on some machine...I hope that will motivate me since I can't go outside for a run!

5K with three of my kids and two nephew on Saturday morning at my son's middle school.  My 4 year old ran almost the entire way! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen! It kept bringing tears to my eyes.  He ran so hard and was trying so hard to win.  He only sat in the stroller on 3 hills and that is because I made him.  My 7 year old girl ran her heart out too.  It was so much fun!  My baby and my little girl came in before my 13 year old did!  He was too busy walking with some of the cute girls, but kicked it in to gear when one of his friends passed by him.  My two nephews were troopers too! Such a great day!  Great that my knee and hip didn't hurt at all too!   

 Went home and peddled away on my bike for an hour and used my new Concept 2 rower that I am in love with right now.   

Went to an orthopedic surgeon on Friday and he said that I have Right knee IT Band Syndrome and Right Trochanteric Bursitis....YIPPEE!  Six weeks of PT and no running....but since I ran on Sat and no pain, I am thinking it must not be that serious??!!!  

 Just got news that they are FINALLY delivering the elliptical and setting it up!  They were suppose to come last week....then yesterday....we'll see if they actually show up! Super excited!
