| | Did the open Lake Wilderness CoEd Relays race with my friend who's a cross country coach. It was the first running I've done since Hawaii (afterwards the doc told me no more!) so I was slooowww. It was a 3k but I stopped when you had to run through the water (yeah yeah, I'm a weenie) so it probably more like only 1.5 miles for me. Luckily through the woods a lot of it was really slow because of the back-up of runners and it was single-file lines! |

AND I'M BACK! (hopefully!)
Went to the doctor today and though it's not 100%, he said I don't have to go back to the doctor and I can start running (slowly, very very very slowly!). I was ECSTATIC! After 6 long long long months not only have I gained about 8 pounds but I was pretty much ready to just start running no matter what the doctor says. After all, the result seems to be surgery either way, either I run on it and break it again, and this time I have surgery, or it's still not healed, and eventually I need surgery. SO RUNNING IS THE ANSWER! :-)
Anyway, you can still see the break in the center of the bone, but the outsides are completely healed (thus the HUGE bump on my ankle bone) and its making good progress and I never think about it anymore except when I have huge anxiety attacks that it's not healing and get super paranoid....! So he finally said get to it, and hopefully I never ever EVER see him again. Knock on wood.
So what did I do? Went for a run! I was sloowww. Beyond slow. And every step I am paranoid about my ankle. But oh well! Took Cooper, he was pretty much walking while I was jogging, how sad. 2 miles, 11:11 and 11:26 splits. It's going to be a longgg road back but at least I'm on the road!
Today I'm also starting my own Biggest Loser competition (with myself!) to try and lose those 8 pounds. So I also did P90X legs and back and about 100 of the abrippers. |

Ran 2 miles again today! (walked the last half mile). My ankle didn't hurt at all while I was actually running, but it started hurting kind of significantly once I stopped, which had me worried. I knew I should only run every other day at first, but I was so excited after yesterday! So no running tomorrow, every other day from now on, for at least a few days. :-) Mile splits were 11:10 and 11:20.
When I got home did an hour on the bike while watching the biggest loser, was 15 miles even. |

| | Met this new group of gals that I met on Craigslist for a run. We're all in varying stages of being out-of-shape, so that's nice, as I'm definitely not ready for a real running group, since my max right now 2 miles about. We walked 2 miles and then ran 2 miles at the Game Farm trail, it was pretty! |
