After two days of no exercise, I finally got out to the gym this morning for an hour on the elliptical and about 20 minutes of hip/core work. Felt good to move my body. Right adductor still painful with certain movements, but the elliptical seems okay.
At the end of every year I compile the 2-3 hours of family video we've taken throughout the year and make a 10-15 minute highlight video. I usually get it done in December and post it on our family website, but I slacked this year and have not done it yet. SO I've finally decided to stop procrastinating it and get 'er done. Over the past couple of days I've cleaned out my video folder on my computer, put all the old video on our external hard drive, and captured all the 2009 video into a new project file. Now I have the task of making a fun, short video out of 2.5 hours of footage. It usually takes me 50-60 hours of work. So that is my distraction from running since I'm injured and I could use a healthy, fun distraction. Here is the video I made last December, highlighting 2008. Stay tuned for the 2009 video to be released shortly...

what an ADORABLE video! How precious!!! You've inspired me, I think I should do some scrapbooking today :) lol, I spend all my extra time running and now my kids have no scrapbooks! They grow up so fast though! Thanks for sharing a bit of your family :)
Good luck Nan with recovering from your injury, hang in there. It's so frustrating, but soon you'll be able to run pain-free again! Your distractions are good to take your mind off the injury, , , it's just as much a mental game as a physical one! Anyway, sending healing vibes thru the computer your way!!!!!

Loved the video. I could certainly do with some extra time to consolidate all the video of our kids, but alas, I'm a slacker. I hope you heal quickly and can get back to your amazing training.

Fantastic video! When you are a grandma, you kids will love all the time and effort you put into making the memories.
It is always nice to have a goal to work on. Something that lingers in the back of your mind (when I was in college, I always had homework lingering). Way to go!

Love the video! Can't wait to see the new year version--so glad you are feeling better about things and it won't be long before you are up and running again!
I loved the little hands and little feet part. And the boy with the breast pump.
