Just What I Was Afraid Of
About four and a half years ago, Gary and I began running and our journey toward fitness and a healthier lifestyle. For the first several months, I worried that I would quit because that’s what I had always done. I would get excited about exercise, and then after a few weeks, I would skip a…

Two Steps Forward, Three Weeks Back
When I talked with the nurse to schedule my knee surgery, she told me I would be able to run after four weeks. When I questioned my doctor right before surgery, he confirmed what the nurse had said.

Day 3 Post-Op
On Monday, I had a long-awaited surgery on my knee. I have had pain since before Christmas, and had tried resting, injections, and physical therapy. Despite my efforts, I could only run a mile or two before being stopped in my tracks by knee pain. As someone who has come to thrive on running, not…

The Trip North…
Both Gary and I are from Northwest Indiana….the Region. The area is called the Region because of its proximity to Chicago. I lived about 30 minutes from the Windy City until I was eleven. Gary lived further south, about an hour and a half from Chicago. We both enjoy visiting that part of the state,…
