Three Months Post-Op
I can’t believe it’s been three months since my knee surgery. When I was still in pain, time seemed to move at a snail’s pace, but lately the weeks are flying by. With each new week, my knee and leg feel stronger. If I have a hard workout, I might still limp, but I don’t […]

Running and Being a Kid…
My mind works in mysterious ways. I can jump between subjects in a conversation faster than my listener can keep up. In my head, I have gone from one thing to another, and it makes perfect sense. To the average listener (or my husband), I am sure what comes out of my mouth seems completely […]

I Ran Today…
…and I mean really ran! The last time I blogged, which was not long ago, I was running a slow mile. Today I ran five miles, without walking, at a 10:07 pace!! I was pretty much to the point that I regretted my surgery, and felt I’d never be able to run again. I just […]

Gotta Tabata!
I have a hundred things I need to do this evening, and writing isn’t really a necessity, but sometimes I just have something to say. Combine that with time by myself, and I am going to write. Surprisingly, I don’t plan to whine in this blog – not one bit. This week I embarked on […]

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. At my post-op appointment, the orthopedic nurse practitioner also said I could run after four weeks (Gary […]

Getting My Mojo Back
It’s been three weeks and three days since surgery. It seems much longer. It’s been three weeks and four days since I really exercised, and I am beginning to really miss my workouts. Tuesday I decided to go for a walk after a meeting at school. I wanted to listen to my music, and see […]

16 Days Post-Op…Losing Patience
I am not a patient person, but it’s expected because patience runs thin on my mom’s side of our family. It is one of my character flaws, but since I am basking in mid-life, I have just accepted it. And so I am 16 days post-op, and recovering as expected – by the doctor; I […]

This is it…the week we have planned for all summer…the week will will find out what we’re made of. On Wednesday, Gary and I will leave for Atlanta, and will participate in Atlanta Mania, a fitness conference. I have been to conferences for the beauty industry, the Atlanta Gift Market, and education conferences. They required […]

The Thing About Middle Age…
For some reason, middle age has been nagging at me. I have no idea why. I am certainly not middle-aged. That’s what I thought anyway. And then a couple years ago, my husband said something to me about being middle-aged, and I was highly insulted. Because I had already embarked on my forties, my husband […]
