Well my day had a good start to it: 8 miles! This is so far my longest run post-injury. The time was slower than I’d care for, but my coworker Jenna came over this morning and we ran it together. Knowing I can get the distance down is great, and now I just need to […]

This week, I volunteered to make guacamole for my dance class Thursday, but then wasn’t able to go. What to do with 6 avocados?! In lieu of baking […]

Added another mile to my running today, and then decided to just make it a 5k. I definitely felt some soreness and aching from my ankle, but as usual I came home and iced it right away. I plan to rest tomorrow, and Friday return to my running group but take it easy. Today is […]

It was a really great Tuesday: amazing weather AND I went for another run! My comeback is live and happening! A slow and steady 2 miler. It was fine, I felt out of shape, which is to be expected after not running for a month and a half. I came home and iced right away […]

I’ll level with you: my Saturday wasn’t very thrilling. Chores around the house, and then Dan and I rode our bikes to one of our favorite sushi restaurants. That evening, we caught up with some episodes of The Big Bang Theory. And then we went to bed at 10pm. Why? Because we had to be […]
