Thank Heavens For Drugs.

I finally made it out today..I was dressed to go yesterday morning thinking it would help motivate me but it was so cold yesterday and breezy that after standing out in it for 15 mins with the kids at the bus stop it quickly unmotivated me... I was going to get on the treadmill but came home and got on the computer and got lost into cyberspace and before I knew it the day was half over.. So I really have been slacking. Today was better.. Temp wise it was about the same but only a very slight breeze which make a big diffrence out here.. With the humidity and wind chill factor it felt like in the teens yesterday but it was really 25.. Today it was 25 degrees when i went out but much better.. Still a little cold for my liking but I really needed to get out and run.. My knees felt really great today... Just a little twinging in the right one.. I finally got the Dr. to give me a couple more prescriptions for some celebrex and it has made a world of diffrence in my knees..

I was planning on keeping my miles low but after I finished up 2 I decided since I was feeling pretty good I would go take my dog around the block for a cool down brisk walk.. It ended up being more of a run but as long as I felt good I figured it was ok.. Right towards the end I could feel the right one aching a bit so I went home and iced it and now feel pretty good. Hopefully if I can stay on the celebrex I may get back into this a little better..

All in all a pretty good day!! 3.03 Miles

I'm impressed that you're able to do so much being so busy getting ready to move! You have a real talent for this so I'm sure that with time you'll be back in business.; February 25, 2009 at 9:26 AM
Jen said...: A recovery run is just a run that is easy and isn't going to do further muscle damage. I run them at a pace that I could talk to someone.; February 26, 2009 at 6:37 AM

Why a Running Blog and Why I run.

I chose to start a running blog because I wanted to start keeping a log of my progress with my new found love of running. A friend of mine suggested to start a running blog and I thought what a great idea. Hopefully this will inspire and encourage me to keep improving and to set and reach for higher goals. I am still so new to all this and I am still trying to learn so any help, tips and tricks would be gratefully appreciated. So here I am... I have never been a runner until now. I hated to run growing up. It just plain hurt to run so I never did. Several years and a few surgerys later I decided while out on one of my daily walks around the block to run and see how far I could go. My first time running I went 1 mile and it felt great. By the second week I was up to 2 Miles and still going strong other then a few nagging aches and pains with my knees. From then on I have been hooked. I have come to find that I now love to run. I was meant to run. Of course there are days when I seriously question that statement but I think we all do at some point. There is this feeling you get( A runners high some call it) when running that is an amazing feeling and once you have experienced it you want to continue to experience it. It's when your running and all of a sudden you feel yourself transform as if into a machine. All your muscles are working together as one and you feel strong and powerful and you feel as if you are gliding through the air and the running becomes effortless. It's an amazing feeling that only those who have experienced it can relate. It doesn't happen often but once you experience it you have to have it again. I have loved watching and feeling my body change and transform and become stronger. I am a better mother and wife when I run. You get to experience the outdoors and nature in a whole diffrent light. It's time for just me to do what I want to do and escape from the craziness of life for just a little while to think, ponder, meditate, cry, laugh, sing whatever I am feeling at the time, and I come back exhilaerated, rejuvinated, happier, calmer, and more patient. Of course this is after I recover from the sheer exhaustion. This is why I run!!!
