Watch Out World Here I Come Again!

It's official, I'm back in the game. I went in today for my final appointment with Dr. Sisler. Took some more x-rays and compared them to the first, I must say, I messed myself up pretty bad and I can really tell a difference. I have healed and am to base my running on pain. I can start walking 30 minutes 4 times this week and then next week, I can start adding some running. So, as soon as I get a break from work, (well another break from work) I am going to find this girl a 1/2 to run. I have so many ants in my pants right now I just want to get out there and go! But, I have to remember to pace myself so I dont have to dust the ol' crutches off again.

I'm looking forward to geting out there with everyone on Tuesday at the River. I'll be at the St. Patty's race on Brookside tomorrow, so if you are running, you will see me at the end of the finish line collecting the bottom of race tags, I'm on Glens Road Racing team tomorrow!

For those of you heading to Little Rock this weekend, as always, I know that you will make us proud. Can't wait for the race reports.

See you soon!

Back in the Saddle Again-Sort of!


For the last week, I have been doing some Yoga, Pilates and LOTS of crunches. I havent quite been told it's okay, but I'm fell really great! Honestly for the last week and a half, I dont even feel like I had an injury. It's pretty scary.

Not only have I started doing some "light" exercise, but I have put myself back on a pretty strict diet, it's called "The Abs Diet", I bought the book off of the Runners World magazine website. Pretty interesting stuff.

So with all of that said, hopefully I can start getting strong and lean again before I really start getting strong and lean again. I'll know a week from Friday exactly what type of running I can do again. I'm really excited. It's kind of like when I was a kid and I couldnt wait until Christmas.

Woohoo!

P.S. A big CONGRATULATIONS to all everyone who completed Cowtown this weekend, you guys are great!

See you real soon.
