One mile recap

After being sidelines for way to long, I was allowed to run one mile. I woke up with my alarm clock even though I did not want to get out of bed. It was set for 8am but the ght I woke up plenty of times due to allergies, choking and whatnot. I woke up, put my running gear on and was out the door. I snapped some pictures to document the momentous occasion. All I have to say was, wow, one mile, I am out of shape..

So back to my knee.... Well I tnk I was thinking too much about it because I felt random things going on in my knee, it went right away. I got about .5 miles in and I was out of breath, I sold down, turned around and continued. Finally, at about .75 miles in, the pain was there. The darn knee pain that had been there since December.

Well, back to the doctor I went, I have one week of intense exercises, icing and stretching and then is get to run a mile again. Woohoo!!!!

Picture to follow because I apparently cannot upload pics from my iPad.

Anyone know how to upload pics to blogger from an iPad?

What do you do when an injury sidelines you?

1 mile ready!

Guess who gets to run her one mile tomorrow? Yup, me!

I am very excited. I have done my foam rolling, sneakers are ready to go and my outfit is picked out.

I have "carboloaded" today at Disney which consisted of Mac and cheese, French fries, grapes, mms, and jelly beans. For dinner I had a tuna bowls from ciccio's lodge here in Tampa Palms followed by some fish food ice creme.

My alarm is set for 8 then it's off to the allergist, errands, get togethers, massage and knee appointment!

I cannot remember the last time I was this excited to run, especially one mile. Please do not hurt knee, I am begging and so are my too tight of pants and the 6 pound I put on since February. Whoops :)

Friday quote day

I want to try something out. I want to try and start posting inspirational quotes. I love quotes and sometimes it gets me going. Here is my first one for you all.

" I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could goo in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."-Jesse Owens

Thank you Jesse Owens for describing it perfectly!!

happy dance

so, you know that feeling when you haven't been able to run since December and you are allowed to try to run one mile next week? well I am jumping for joy!

this afternoon I went to my massage appointment and saw my doctor and he said I get to try to run one mile. the catch, foam rolling!

please do not think this massage is fun, it is not. Micah beats my left leg up for an hour, it is torture!!

If my knee hurts while I run, that will mean another month or so of no running, annoying exercises and foam rolling. if that happens, I guess I better start saving up for a road bike.

Cross your fingers I am pain free, I have NYC Marathon in less than 8 months! and this flabby non runner body's clothes are starting to get too tight, yuk!!!

happy running :)
