'09 SF healed! Back to running 3/4/10!! Eye on the prize: Ragnar (Jul), Royal Victoria (Oct), NYCM or Seattle (Nov), & half's sprinkled in.
2.16 MILES -- 18:06 >> NOT BAD...NOT BAD AT ALL...
Spectacular! Terrific! Tubular! Splendid! These are just a few of the adjectives to describe today's run.
After 2 weeks of being back to running, today I ran with the most confidence, cheer, an... read more

3 days agoPT on an Empty Stomach
May I recommend to NOT do 90 minutes of PT after fasting for 14 hours to give blood work. I guess at the time I thought it was an ideal day of planning, but certainly not realistic. I hope the PT staff can forgive me. I get a l'... read more
OK your PT is harder..but then again I am limited since I can't do hald the stuff my PT would like due to my "issues" Great job and after fast..wow I hope you had a huge protein shake or something after.
4 days agoI pigged out on a large, scrumptious turkey and havarti sandwich! I told my PT that compared to a 20 miler, the long run is easier than the PT. hehahe
How is your hip area? Doing core strength stuff?
3 days ago2 MILES -- 18:16 MIN >> I FORGOT ABOUT THE GALE WINDS
Just like anything and everything, there is a pro and con and living on the water - Puget Sound - has exactly that! The Puget Sound brings us Gale winds on a regular basis. This would probabl... read more
You'll be powering through these soon Larissa. I can't say we have special winds around here, but the normal ones definitely give some resistance.
5 days agoBy far the worse conditions for running to me. Nice job Larissa!
4 days agoRichard...I couldn't agree more! I would rather run in downpour or snow then gale winds. At least run was just 2 miles. Many times have I ran 8+ miles in the gales. Ugh. I think this explains why I was able to PR 1:46 half marathon last summer, after all the training living by the water. That's the pro. *wink*

Today is a scheduled run day which also coincided with my PT day. Asked PT Ben if I could skip the treadmill and head outside for my 15 minutes of fun. He was cool with that and I was hap... read more

8 days agoPT…FAST PACE, JUST LIKE MY WEEK
Headache free since the rain came in Thursday, and a crazy busy work week, I was actually looking forward to today's PT session. I built my run into today's session too, so the latter half, I was working our hard with a... read more
1.6 MILES -- 15:37 MIN >> Don't laugh...
Still in first week of my 2-weeks-of-15-minute runs. This pace felt easy and I really don't feel as out of shape as I anticipated. But when my husband (aka BFF) asked, "Do you feel like you could run... read more
Girl, nobody's gonna laugh at that. Heck, you still run faster than me! Looking forward to hearing about your new run memories :) I bet if you look back on your posts on DM, it'll put you right back in that last long run.
11 days agoThank you everyone! *Hugs* for the support. :)
10 days agoJennifer... Thank you for sharing with me your experience. That makes sense now. What a relief. It feels good to know that I am not alone with this feeling. I think that is why the doctor is having me just run 10-15 minute runs the first two weeks so I can work on my confidence and get the body prepared for the impact. Thank you again!
10 days agoPT…FIND MY HAPPY PLACE
Been dealing with a chronic headache since Tuesday that makes we just want the sun to fall from the sky and electricity to turn off. Pretty sure it’s my sinuses, a result of this lovely weather we have been having during tree po... read more
Is it a migraine or just the sinus headache? Ice on the worst side sometimes helps a regular one. As for the migraine, I'd rather just shoot myself...

Nice job..I like it that Dr K is giving you good feedback..that is great. I have a confidence issue and PTSD thinking I am going to injure myself..working through this. Not sure I will get past 3 miles but I will cherish those 3 little miles right now. I am so proud of you and that is a fantastic pace on any day.
2 days agoGreat job on the run, Larissa. So good to see you coming back, and coming back strong and happy. Looking forward to more as you add that 10% each week.
