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. Favorite Blogs: |

We buried Scott today. SCEMS Honor Guard did honors and I was grateful, Scott was a founding member and glad he was honored. They were able to use all his organs, so his heart is beating somewhere. Godspeed my friend.
65 minutes endless stairs. 657 floors. | |

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!! | |

| | First run in the great outdoors since the accident. 4.5 miles with Jennifer. no watch. it was slow. running feels awkward and herky jerky. leg is holding up fine, but I can tell my body is just not used to impact at all. afterwards hit the Y for 20 minutes on the stepmill and a quick 25 minute core and weight workout. | |

| | Pretty sure my doctor would put me in a cast if he knew of my antics today. Met some of the badgers at HS and jogged 6 easy, than drove to GoRun East intending to walk the Oklahoma fundraiser 5k but ended up jogging it with and having some good conversation. No injury pain(I would've stopped), just mildly sore muscles that are not used to impact. It was a great morning(humid but not too hot)! | |
