Injured

I haven't been running or posting since Tuesday because on that afternoon I ruptured the "plantaris tendon" in my left leg.  It runs down through the calf below the knee.  I could hardly walk after it happened Tuesday afternoon and went to the doctor on Wednesday morning.  Nothing to do for it except ibuprofen and ice.  It is much, much better but is still bothering me now on Saturday.  Will take 2-3 weeks to fully heal.  Really made me MAD!  I am walking fine but if I turn a little bit the wrong way, I can still feel it.  And I was doing so well, too!  And I will again.

On the TM

I decided over the weekend to get back in gear on the TM.  I seem to do better and can run farther than I can and do outside.  So yesterday and today I ran a full mile and upped my push ups and sit ups to 35 each.  Goal before leaving for the Hawaii trip on 9/23 is to get to 2 miles on the TM and 50 reps each for the exercises. 

Been Doing It

I have been doing it.  Running and walking every morning but tomorrow we are heading to Whitewater so will have to see how it goes there.  I'm bringing my stuff and plan to keep at it.

Keeping the Home Fires Burning!

I'll do my best here while you are on your big adventure in Germany!  Actually, I haven't gotten on the TM yet.  Outside run/walk has gone very well the last two mornings so will keep it up and try to up the mileage as the weeks go by.  I really want to get back to 2 miles running on most days.  Have a ways to go but will keep at it.

Have fun!

Anniversary Hiatus is Over!

I took a break while we were in Chicago although we did walk 3 or 4 miles every day there to get to and from one thing or another.  Today I got back on track with a 1 mile run/walk outside.  I see a year ago I was running on the TM every day because it was so hot and humid.  Might try that and see how it goes.

Another Report!

I went out yesterday morning but only ran about .25 miles.  I was tired!  So I walked and it was really enjoyable.

Today, though, I was successful in my (slow) run.  I did two laps around the lake and I had 2 walk breaks today, both in the second mile.  So that's improvement!  Not sure if I'll walk or run tomorrow morning, but I'll do something!

Thanks, Partner!

You inspired me to get of my rear!  I've been for a couple walks (so hot!) and I looped the lake twice this morning in a slow run.  I did have to take 3 short walking breaks.  But, hey, I did something!

3rd Day

Still doing it here.  Very warm (72) and humid here this morning but I got it done. 

Ok, Slackers! Back to it!

This is embarrassing to see how long it's been since I posted anything here!  Truth is I didn't do any running on the farm but I did walk 1 and sometimes 2 miles on many mornings.  Now I am home and this morning I walked a half mile north and ran back and started the push ups and sit ups again.  Only 25 reps each but it's a start.  The running and exercises felt like I had never done them before!  So, I will keep at it here and see how it goes.
