I had all intentions of attempting a run this morning with my herniation/sciatica/hamstring  problem along with a swollen ankle (not sure why-- but it is next to the arch) but decided rest was in order-- one more hour of sleep and a long day at work on mom/baby at UV.  Was better than usual.   Besides a painful foot to walk on my day was good.

I'm new to this fast running blog and found yours. :) You are so speedy. You said you work on Mom/baby, are you a nurse? I work in Salt Lake as a nurse.

From JulieC on Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 20:21:16 from 70.56.110.201

yes. I work at Utah Valley and American Fork Hospital as a master float nurse. My weekend shifts are in the level 2 nsy at AFH. I used to work NICU at UVRMC for 17 years. What floor do you work on?? and MOST OF ALL WELCOME TO THE RUNNING BLOG!!!

From NatalieK on Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 20:33:54 from 159.212.71.69

Oh wow, what a welcome! Thank you! My husband will be glad I have "other people" to geek out on running with instead of trying to get him to understand all the craziness that comes with running!

Awesome that you are a nurse. I always say that running helps me keep my patience and therefore my patients. :) I work on a Heart and Lung step down floor. (CVU 4, if you're familiar with IMC)

yes runners must stick together. why else would Rachelle hang out with me?? I do not feel old at all--- 43 and I feel like 25 when I am with her : D. This blog is fun because it is running that brings us together no matter the age or pace, we understand each other. A strange addiction. Last year was my most insane year. Now injury for the first time really has opened my eyes to what others have felt....Blah. But I am coming back no matter what!!

From NatalieK on Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 20:42:52 from 159.212.71.69

So true. Runners are a different breed. Are you almost over your injury? Or did it just happen? I guess I should go back and read more of your blog before I ask all these questions.....

HI Julie. Take care of that leg! I might cut mine off, so if I do, I'll let you know how that goes.

Hi Natalie, welcome!:)

From JulieC on Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 20:51:07 from 70.56.110.201

five weeks before the Boston marathon I got the dreaded Plantar fascitis disease. Mesmerizing injury. I had two steroid shots, ultrasound, icing, stretching and it just has to run its course. Boston was a painful marathon-- heat and humidity and PF to boot. I just jogged it. No plans to race it after the injury. I could barely walk on my foot the week before. I am getting better and better.

From JulieC on Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 20:53:10 from 70.56.110.201

so your hamstring is still bad?? why are we being so plagued. Last year was a good year for us both (minus SGM for me ; D). What in the heck!!! I think I need to be chained in a bed to not "keep trying" my injury out.

From JulieC on Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 20:54:10 from 70.56.110.201

I am off to read your blog Tara. I am adding you and natalie as favorites.

From Rachelle on Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 11:17:05 from 159.212.71.69

Proud of you for resting my friend. :) I think we should run our last legs of Ragnar tied together like a 3 legged race. That way we can use my two good legs and your one and I'm sure we'll be unstoppable!! :):)
