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.

Total Distance

5.20

a.m. I felt brave and went for a two mile test run. Two wonderful miles on the roads by my house--no elliptical, no treadmill, just me and the road. It felt a little jerky and strange at first as if I had forgotten how to run but things smoothed out quite a bit by the end of the second mile. I wanted to go further but figured I better not push my luck just yet with the ankle. I will do some time on the treadmill after work tonight.

p.m. 20 minutes on the elliptical and 3.2 on the treadmill. ankle is still holding up

YEAH!!! Way to play it smart! You will be back in no time flat. Are you just going to add a mile or a half a day and see how it goes? What is your plan? I am SO happy for you!!!

I'm not sure exactly how I am going to do this--I'm thinking of transitioning all elliptical time to the treadmill and then transitioning treadmill miles to the road one at a time. As long as everything stays pain free it won't take long. I guess I'll just play it by ear and try to listen to my body! I have some new shoes on the way that should help me avoid getting injured and I am going to avoid routes with loose rocks and ditches from now on!
