A Big Change..?

The other day I went to look at running shoes. Ever since I started running agin, I have been dealing with blisters. I think the first one happened on Sunday and it really pissed me off. So I am looking into any and all fixes for blisters. I am not going to have my running…… Continue reading A Big Change..?

Morning Eats…

Enough news. On to food. 🙂 Wednesday morning is my week day morning for oatmeal. Today the oatmeal was ok. I did 1/3 of a cup of a combination of oat bran and rolled oats. 1/3 cup 1% milk, 1/3 cup water. A few raisins. A shake of cinnamon and probably a teaspoon of vanilla.…… Continue reading Morning Eats…

Such a busy day…

Last night I mapped out my normal work day. It was not pretty. Almost every moment is spoken for – especially on the days when I run or exercise. This is one reason I like taking the train a couple of times a week. I get my reading time done on the train, and (if…… Continue reading Such a busy day…

Sunday

I have to be honest with you, I do not love Sunday evenings. I always find myself worrying about work, getting up early on Monday morning, and the long week that stretches ahead. I hate it. But tonight I am not letting it get to me. I had a productive Sunday. I got a decent…… Continue reading Sunday

Weekend

Wow, this weekend totally got away from me. I hate it when that happens. . . but I did have a lot of fun this weekend, a lot of unplanned fun. Where to start? I’ll start off with the good news. I had a post op appointment on Friday and after months of not being…… Continue reading Weekend

Burritos and Cake (and a little running, too)

Happy Thursday evening, everyone! The week still seems a bit long to me, but at least there is only one more day of the work week left!! I think the week days have been going rather slowly for me because I am really looking forward to this holiday weekend – I have a lot of…… Continue reading Burritos and Cake (and a little running, too)

A busy day so far

I am back. I did go out for my first run since June. More importantly, I survived. It was not really fun, I must say. I did just over two miles (2.1) at varying tempos – anywhere pacing between 9:30 minutes per mile to 14:00 minutes per mile. At 1.35 miles my knee started to…… Continue reading A busy day so far

Running and more stuff…

There was a great story on running airing on NPR on my way home tonight. Check it out! 😀 I really hope to get back to running soon. I miss it so much. I miss the fact that you can run anywhere. I just love driving somewhere after work and going for a run. Short…… Continue reading Running and more stuff…

My Running…

… is officially postponed. 😦 I am not going to dive into the details right now, because I still do not know too much. But after one more appointment with my favorite orthopedist a lot of my running goals are officially on hold until we figure out exactly what is going on with my knee.…… Continue reading My Running…

Oh the Wind!

Yesterday I went for a run. I was sooo excited to get out there and get going, because I hadn’t been able to really exercise since Monday. Tuesday was my long day at work (have you noticed I hardly ever workout on Tuesdays??) and Wednesday I did not get home from work until 7:45… it…… Continue reading Oh the Wind!
