Heeeeelllp I'm melting! Lack of running is making my legs look smaller lol. Did some crazy wall sits when I first got to Gold's. Then a couple weights machines. Then 60 min elliptical. Got a good sweat! Then a few more weights. Then 12 minutes walking on an incline. Going to the Dr today for my calf. Wish me luck for shizzle. My calf feels a lot better. I just know it needs rest to get back 100%. So sorry for the run on, updating with the crackberry on the run doesn't allow for good paragraphing etc. I just got back from the Dr. Had an x-ray and there is NO FRACTURE! Wahhoooooo!!!! Shin splints and some overuse on the muscles and tissues on the calf. 1-2 more solid weeks off, physical therapy (oh joy) again, and then ease back in every other day running. I am so glad that its nothing super serious. This year marks my 10th year since I began running. It is part of my heart. I run for me. I will be back stronger. I'm determined....

What? No arm bike? The elliptical and walking an incline is NOT resting that calf unless you're doing it on your hands :)

Doh! Rattle you busted me! you're right, I need to fire up some hand bike hell tomorrow. In my defense, I'm half asleep while working out. Not fully coherent if ya catch my drift ;)

Excuses, excuses, you should know we're all watching you :)

I hope everyone's eyes continue to watch. Because once I'm cleared, not just to run, but to train again. I'm gonna unleash! PR's the end of summer are coming my way. I can feel it

Lily, your lucky your legs shrink if you don't run... Mine BLOW UP into big balloons. Haha. I think you're good to do elliptical as long as you know your limits. Yay for doctor! Keep us posted

Update is up for you lulu! Rad thanks! I can't wait. I miss running in the beautiful weather on the trail. Its sooo apart of me! Unbelievable! :)

From Rachelle on Thu, May 31, 2012 at 15:29:57 from 199.190.170.30

YAY Lily! That is great news and you will be back at it in no time. The worst is behind you.

From Lulu Walls on Thu, May 31, 2012 at 15:32:04 from 155.100.212.98

Glad it isn't anything serious! Just make sure you are actually resting it :)

From Lily on Thu, May 31, 2012 at 15:55:32 from 67.199.178.210

Words cannot express the great relief that washed over me today my people. I am so so happy. Now I just need to get it all healed up the next week or 2. I can do this

From Carina on Fri, Jun 01, 2012 at 10:30:35 from 204.15.86.83

Yay for no SF!! You'll be back soon. I find it easier to take the time needed to heal when it comes from a DR. So I'm glad you went :)
