easing back into it. the plan is to not run (err, run/walk) two consecutive days for a while. i don't know how long, but i still get out of breath running a half-mile so i know i have a ways to go. of course, i'm just glad to be out there period! i was even excited to do chores around the house over the weekend like cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming under the couch. after months of sitting around in pain/discomfort, doing chores is a treat! (don't worry josh i'm sure that won't last long).

just spicing things up with a photo.
my sister taunted me into doing the broom trick. josh i had to explain to her that it had nothing to do with the planets. when i showed my standing broom skills to josh he said "it would be more impressive if you were actually using it".
yay for running!
ReplyDeleteimpressive broom skillz. anyone can USE a broom, not everyone can balance one like that.
Whoop whoop! Slowly but surely getting back into things. YAY!
ReplyDeleteIf you run out of things to clean at your house and haven't gotten over the whole "chores are a treat" thingy... You know where I live! ;-)
Tempting.... Ha!
Deletei've seen this broom thing all over the place. now if you could teach it to sweep that would be even cooler!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the running! i'm happy you are back out there too.
Yippie for being back to running!
ReplyDeleteJosh's response cracked me up.
WOO HOO! Look who has running miles on her weekly recap! WOOT!
ReplyDeleteLook at you back on a running schedule - woo hoo! LOL @ josh and the broom trick. :)
ReplyDeleteHuge smiles for running!
ReplyDeleteSooooo good to see some running miles! Welcome back!!!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of that broom trick... now I want to try it.
It wasn't that hard actually. It took a few tries of holding it up and letting it go (and it falling over) but then it just stood in place. Kind of weird.
DeleteHip hip horray for running!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you training! I love the broom trick and story!
ReplyDeleteLess balancing. More sweeping!
ReplyDeleteOh, and good news about the running stuff too I guess ;) Glad to hear you are back at it. When do you want the marathon training plan??
Wait, what?! Marathon? I can't even run 2.6 miles yet.
DeleteGood news - glad you're getting back to it.
ReplyDeleteI can hear the happiness in your words! Yay that you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how we tend to take little things like sweeping the floor for granted and when we're to unhealthy or in to much pain to do these basic movements we truly miss them and want to be able to! It's never easy when are liberties are taken from us unwillingly.
Continued good luck and I'm still working on things from this end!
Love Josh's comment!
ReplyDeleteBack to running! Yay! So smart to listen to the soreness...
ReplyDeleteThat is a great broom trick! I need to practice that :)
How do you do the broom trick? That's pretty cool. I'm almost certain I don't have a broom though. Does a Swiffer work? :)
ReplyDeleteYAY, so happy to see that 7 number in the mileage...and weekly - woohoo!
Vegas here she comes..... Magic and running, woman you're on a roll.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for the fishing line that is holding up the broom but my eyes aren't so good.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you are getting out there. That is awesome.
No fishing line! I wouldn't have put forth the effort to rig that up... :)
DeleteIt's good to see you getting back....slow but sure!
ReplyDeleteHar har, Josh, so funny!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the comeback!
ReplyDeleteYay for the run--no matter how short, any run is better than none. So glad things are moving in a positive direction! I could not for the life if me get my broom to perform.
ReplyDeleteRunning = yay! You know, I had to do the stupid broom trick too...it freaked out my husband. Heh!
ReplyDeleteSometimes its the little things, props on the broom trick to !
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting back to running.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on getting back out there!
ReplyDeleteHey awesome face, thanks for the well bday wishes! Is it ok that I like to drag it out as long as possible? I mean, a birthday month is what we really deserve.. Right? Especially us runners :)
ReplyDeleteFreaking high fives on getting back out there girly! Keep it up!
