Was just starting to love running when I was sidelined with femoral neck stress fracture in May. Now I'm trying to love swimming while I heal.

  1. walk
    tired 3:2 run/walk 3.28 mi 00:42 12:52 pace

    Flipped the run/walk ratio to 3 mins run, 2 min walk but I think it might have been too much too soon. Felt wiped out the whole time, sluggish and slow. Of course that's how I felt all day any... read more

  2. walk
    great Alternating 3 min walk/2 min ... 4 mi 00:50 12:31 pace

    I can grudgingly say the extended mandatory rest prompted by my injury has done wonders for my running. I'm stronger and pain-free and quicker and lighter and happier. Continuing to take it ea... read more

  3. walk
    alright 4.5 mins walk/1.5 mins run 3.09 mi 00:43 14:01 pace

    Since I had a week on the 5:1 without pain, I increased each interval 30 seconds. It was okay. The best part was using my new birthday Garmin and shoes, gifts from my husband!

    Felt kind of stiff d... read more

    great 5:1 walk/run 3.35 mi 00:45 13:25 pace

    What a gorgeous, gorgeous day. No grumbling from the injury site, we'll see how it feels over next 48 hours.

  5. walk
    alright 5:1 walk/run ratio 3.15 mi 00:45 14:17 pace

    Ditched the Ease into 5K app after a long talk with my neighbor, who's a PT and a runner. She advised no more than one minute of running for every five minutes of walking, so I went out there ... read more

      I'm glad you talked to her, and glad you stopped the app. Fingers crossed for the not-pain.

    good Ease into 5K wk 1 d 3 (extended) 3.12 mi 00:42 13:20 pace

    I know that I need to ease back into running so I like this app, but my only problem is it's too short on time in the early weeks. It just doesn't feel like a workout when you go 25 mins ... read more

  7. RUN
    good Ease into 5K week 1 day 2 2 mi 00:30 15:00 pace

    Fingers crossed.

  8. walk
    good family walk/light jog 2.85 mi 00:45 15:47 pace

    Set out for a family walk, added some very light jogging intermittently. Seemed okay.

  9. walk
    good Ease into 5K week 1, day 1 00:25

    Back to square one for now, using the Ease into 5K app for simplicity's sake. Hoping the femur cooperates. Easy, easy does it.

    good Cardio Cinema at gym 00:40

    Caught the last 20 minutes (elliptical) and first 20 minutes (treadmill) of some Ashton Kutcher RomCom on loop in the cool, darkened Cardio Cinema, my favorite thing about Gold's Gym. Now if o... read more

    good Sunday laps 1250 yd 00:31 43:38 pace

    Ever since news of the Phelps-Lochte Pee Scandal broke I'm eying my lap-mates suspiciously.

    good family stroll 2.5 mi

    Hip still feels a little tender. I MISS RUNNING.

  13. FIT
    great First time back! 00:40

    First workout after a week on the road, and first time on the elliptical since crutches. I'm all caught up on US Weekly! Turns out something went wrong with K-Stew? Team Anne Lamott.

    alright laps at gym 1150 yd 00:30 45:54 pace

    I normally have the pool to myself at 6am but today every lane was doubled up with more people waiting. Scraped the wall a dozen times and caught several mouthfuls of water. I blame the Olympics.

  16. walk
    good at home 00:45

    Didn't bring along any tracking devices this time, just enjoyed a long country walk in the gentle rain with my man and my dogs. Had a steady twinge in the ol' cracked femur the day after ... read more

    great Military Ridge bike trail 3.05 mi 00:44 14:30 pace

    Celebrated one week off crutches with a walk on my favorite path, sprinkled with occasional 10-20 second intervals of very light jogging (yes the doc said I could do this.) Knock on wood, it felt f... read more

    good Flat laps at Blue Mounds 3.04 mi 00:44 14:32 pace

    Felt great to move. Hot but I had good company. Things are feeling good but I'm going to continue to keep it easy.

    good laps at gym 1200 yd 00:30 44:00 pace

    As badly as I want to keep walking, I'm holding myself to every other day to ensure proper healing. Look at me all mentally healthy and stuff. So, for today, swimming. I'm actually happy ... read more
