yay! Glad you got a run in. It's so fun when the whole fam can go (and sometimes when they can't:))

I totally understand the addiction! I've had IT band issues and last year, I walked home from one (what was supposed to be a) run and just bawled. We love what we love, I guess!

Anyway, I'm stoked for ya!

I'm glad your foot is starting to feel better, but you aren't overdoing it. It is hard to not feel bad about anything these days. Going to the grocery store...playing with your kids. It's awful.

Thanks for linking! I hope I can get up to $200!

Glad you are back; and wise at that! Taking it easy after a layoff is the way to make it stick. Happy trails!

So nice that you had a running buddy. My hubby apologizes for being slow too.

Love that the curls help you determine the weather.

Hooray! I'm so glad you had a good run that was pain free. It really sucks to be injured!

Great suggestions for ways to donate to the Haiti fund. Whole Foods has also paired with the Red Cross to collect money as well. I was able to get some groceries and donate to the Haiti in one trip!

thanks for the tips. I'm moving as much as I can but I am SORE. =) Lots of water and oranges and epsom salt baths this week too. Thanks for the encouragement.

Heather - such great news! Just be really careful this week, get back at it slowly and before you know it all that frustration will be in the past.

I actually caught myself eyes skyward this Sunday after my 11-miles with no shin pain thanking everyone and anyone for letting me get back to what I love to do.

Best of luck - take care,

Joe

2010-01-18T12:00:52.771-05:00

Set backs from injuiries are just soooo very cruel. Not that this helps but just knwo you aren't alone: A dear friend of mine is a sub 3-hour marathoner and has not been able to run in 14 weeks due to bursitis in her leg (or something like that!). You're going at it the smart way...soon you'll be right back in the mix! Yea for your husband getting out there, too! Have a great week!!

Nice run! I also donated through the Red Cross and it worked really nicely.

Glad the foot is doing better.

$2.99 margaritas? And you only had two?!

I totally understand how it feels to read blogs about other people's running experiences... but not being able to run. I've been there too many times and have decreased my blog reading during those times. You're not an A-hole... you're normal. Then again, maybe we're both A-holes. lol

I'm glad you could get out there and that your foot felt good. I hope that continues!!

2010-01-17T22:31:17.221-05:00

Glad your foot cooperated! I'm jealous of those temps though. It's supposed to be mid 50s and sunny tomorrow and I'll be running even though it's supposed to be a rest day.

2010-01-17T21:31:31.789-05:00

Ohh, I hope you are back and doing well. I've just come out of an injury and it was IMPOSSIBLY hard! You did it girl and I love the fact that your baby's hair is your barometer! Take it easy...

2010-01-17T21:06:23.157-05:00

Yay! Glad you're feeling better and ready to get out there. And, you'll feel better about yourself when you see my mileage on dailymile. I just added you. :)

2010-01-17T20:53:47.910-05:00

Glad you're back... I know how that feels. Not to make light of the earthquake... but I read somewhere after 9-11, that your problems are important to you, despite what is going on around you. They are your problems and the ones affecting YOUR life at THAT time. Whine all you want, because it's what YOU have to live with. Not a very good synopsis of the article, but I hope you know what i"m getting at.

You're welcome for the song! Sorry to hear yo...

2010-01-17T20:28:11.130-05:00

You're welcome for the song! Sorry to hear you haven't been able to run...I've been like you, fairly lucky to have avoided a major running injury. But I have friends who haven't been so lucky, so I know it's totally miserable. I hope you're healed up for good now!

And yeah - sometimes it takes a disaster like Haiti for us to remember just how lucky we are. :)

Hi Heather,
Good job on getting out on a run!

Thanks for the wonderful suggestion to donate by text...I will do it shortly! Keep smiling:)

2010-01-17T19:50:23.751-05:00

Glad you were able to get out and enjoy the day ;) I'm assuming Rich is your husband? Very good that he would go out with you!!

Mama Simmons: I hate to say it, but yes. I think the Newtons sort of threw me too far forward in my strike. I eased my way into them like recommended, but I don't know. The pain is RIGHT where the actuator lugs are. I don't want to write them off yet, especially because I was SO excited, just like you said! But for the moment, the Newtons are taking a leave of absense until I feel 100% again!

Mike and Emily: CONGRATULATIONS on an awesome accomplishment! Recovery tips....rest...but keep moving! The best recovery I've ever had after a marathon was after the Disney World marathon, and I totally think that was because I walked the parks for the next two days! Take it easy, but if you feel the urge to stretch your legs out for an easy mile or two, by all means do so! Stretch, massage if at all possible, and most importantly eat well and hydrate! All if it will aid in your recovery. Congrats again! :)

That is great news :)
