Beautiful day to run outside!!!! 70 degrees, sunny, warm, fabulous. First run since the half marathon Sunday. Lots and lots of knee pain. Tomorrow's physical therapy appointment will be a painful one I'm sure.

I havent run yet! I think I may take a full week off but I'm itching to get out there today.

Just started getting over the IT Band myself. Put me on the shelf for quite a few weeks which totally sucked. The only thing you can really do is stretch and give it time.

I ran my first half marathon Sunday. I would love to say I'm super happy, but I’m feeling totally the opposite. And by totally, I mean TOTALLY.
I’ve been seeing a physical therapist for IT band issues (right knee). Thought I had that under control... read more

I'm so sorry your first half wasn't all that you'd hoped it would be. Sending massive {{{{{hugs}}}}} your way!!

Heather, I've thought alot about your post since reading it, and how I would feel in your place. Your blog inspired me to start running again, and I have my sights on the Princess next year. Taking it slow and steady to get there. With all the build up though, it would be completely defeating feeling to not have it go the way you envisioned it. And I get that. Yeah, you did it, rah rah, but it should have been different, or at least, it COULD have been different, and fighting that feeling...

in yourself is the hardest part (whether it's losing weight, getting a new job, or running). I guess all I can say as an outsider is even when you are pissed off about the outcome, you still managed to be honest about it and to share that, which is really inspiring to people like me who are just starting out and trying to balance the bad ones with the goods. So thanks for sharing and I do hope you keep racing and keep healthy. (And I thank you a million times over for the chili fries recipe.)

Heather did a elliptical workout 1 mile in 12 mins 1 mi / 00:12:00
Jacked the resistance WAY up, and my calves & thighs are screaming at me. At least my knee didn't hurt!

Not pushing it too hard since I have the half marathon in just a few days. This might just be my fastest mile ever, but I'm losing track of all this stuff so I'm not 100% sure. I certainly could not keep up that pace for a race, but it was a fun chal... read more

I'm going to get off my tush and hit the treadmill (once dinner settles). I totally should have quit working long enough to run outdoors today.

OK, dinner has settled. Off I go to the basement for some treadmill action.

2.25 outdoors. It was cold, rainy, wet, and miserable. So I hauled my fanny up to the Y to do the remaining 7.75 miles. My knee started to feel pressure around mile 7. It never started to hurt, though. YAY! It simply let me know it was there. The... read more

I actually REALLY like it! I wish they would let me stay on longer than 30 minutes. I'm afraid crazy Ruth will come hunt me down if I stay on longer than I should. lmao

That's a bummer. Take advantage of it, and rest well!
8 days agoSorry Heather. The only good thing about time off is it gives you a greater appreciation for running when you can return. Hope you have some good books to read!
8 days agoSorry, Heather. Hopefully they can figure out how to fix it up for good!
