Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Oh Lord. Thank you for letting me live to run again! I went to the Orthopod today, he says everything looks great! Still some swelling and tenderness over the kneecap and medial side preventing me from squatting and kneeling without pain, but gonna do physical therapy this week, with the intention of being released back to work on the streets next week!! And then, I asked the million dollar question, when can I run?? He said I can start easing back into it TODAY! So I drove straight to the downtown Y with my daughter. 3 easy miles on the indoor track, felt strange and herky jerky and tuggy at first but the feeling dissipated. Then I walked a little then hopped on the treadmill for 3 more nice and easy. No pain, just the odd feeling you get when you haven't ran in a while. 30 minutes of abs after. Hoping the PT can work their magic and I get on my ambulance next week!!

Glad you were able to get some miles in! But truthfully, I didn't know you were injured. So, I suck.

Great to see you back it. Don't go crazy and run 30-50 miles on the weekend; a cheeky little 20 might be ok.

Wow, nothing like diving right back in with 10k. I'm glad you got a good report from orthodoc.

Yay! Glad you're back in the saddle. Or whatever I should say you're back in.
