Moving On

16 weeks. I was prohibited from running for 16 whole weeks. That frigging changed yesterday. I went to the doctor and I was cleared to do whatever the hell I want. My break is healed and now I just have to be careful. If I experience any pain I need to back off and see him.

So, yesterday I went to the high school track with my daughter and planned on a quarter mile walk warm-up and then run the straits until we hit 1.75 miles and then a cool down with another quarter mile walk. It was just so weird to run again. It was extremely cold and windy at the track so my eyes and nose were running and my lungs were burning, since I'm still getting over a virus. My ankles were feeling it and occasionally my feet and knees let me know I hadn't done this in quite some time. But, I felt so good that I managed to run a FULL lap after several times around the oval.

12:40 pace for a quarter mile!

I'm sore today, but I sore I've sadly missed for far too long!


I am nearly 40 pounds heavier than my lowest weight ever (I think I got off the scale that day and immediately gained 5 pounds) and 30 pounds heavier than what I was when we ran our Ragnar 4 years ago; that's 8 pounds a year. In those 4 years I've had knee surgery and broke my foot. I've also ran a marathon and 7 half marathons as well as several 10ks, 5ks, one milers, etc. Both of my kids have graduated high school and are continuing their academic success in college. My husband and I are still loving life together and enjoyed a trip to Nashville for the premiere of the documentary. Life goes on and great things happen. Do I feel better weighing less? Absolutely, but my happiness can't hinge on what the scale or the tags on my clothes say. I am actively trying to change those things. I'm still going to run and eat better and be better at my health, because that's what really matters- being healthy to continue to enjoy these momentous events. The scale will follow.

  1. So so glad you are able to run again!!!!!!!!! I'm in a similar weight 'boat' as you.... but man my mood is so so much better with a simple 8 miles per week../ working up slowly on my weekly milage- my current weight could def bring back a lurking plantar fasciitis... so I keep my miles tiny right now- will keep up with your progress my friend!!!!!

  2. Checking in on you... I hate hate hate to tell you this but I am finding crosstraining a huge factor in preventing injury. I joined a women's bootcamp with Pilates. Blehhhhh. And it really seems to have helped. My weight is stuck at that danger level but I'm able to squeak up my mileage a teeny bit each week. Hate to corroborate bad news but spending time in one of those damn classes each week might really help our running. Again- blehhhhh
