Lots o Snow and Zero Running

 Blizzard December 2010

So now there is lots o snow......and zero running......but I continue going to PT in hopes he will finally say to me.....ok go out and run a mile and see how you feel........trying to keep my spirits up despite the blizzard, cold weather and PT. At least the snow looks nice.....for a while.

Never realized.....

Never realized that I would truly miss running

My running partner went for our usual Tuesday run

today

 without me. 

Not happy. 

It really does relieve stress from the day. 

We shall see what PT says tomorrow.  

:(

PT

LOST LAKE, COLORADO

So....I've entered the world of PT. I've discovered that a quality PT knows exactly which muscle is strained/injured. And that, would be my pitformis muscle. I'm now in "training" to improve that muscle and strengthen other muscles. I am a very focused patient although an impatient one. I got to go on the elliptical for 5 whole minutes; but I kept eying the treadmill. Hopefully, I'll get some more cardio on Monday. I keep wondering what my endurance will be when I begin to run again.  Otherwise, my training has ground to almost a halt except for strengthening and stretching. I hope when I run my first mile again my hip will be happy, and me too! So for now walking the dog 2 miles and going shopping will have to substitute for running the miles.

No Running.....for now

the ortho guy says pinched nerve on the hip

and arthritis in my back

feeling better but

no running for now

just PT

this sucks

i'm sad

my yoga teacher promised to teach me

how to swim laps over the vacation

for now.....

2 mile walk with Kramer helped elevate the endorphine withdrawal

and the need to run 

i promise to keep a positive attitude about all this

at least it wasn't raining
