Finally, the temperatures warmed up to the mid-teens and I was able to get outside running. I took it nice and easy with a run/walk regimen after about a 10-minute walk/warm-up. Run x1 minute/walk x2 minutes repeat x 5. I am easing back into running so that hopefully in about 6 weeks I will be […]
“It Is What It Is”
On Tuesday, RunningOnTheFly posted her “Talk to me Tuesday” on Instagram asking followers if they have chosen a specific word, phrase, theme, or mantra to guide them through 2022. I haven’t ever felt the need for a motivational focus such as this to help with reaching my goals or even just getting through the day. […]
Difficult Times to New Beginnings
As I mentioned in my last post, life has been very difficult since the passing of my Mother. I was trying really hard to get back to the goals I had set for myself way back when, but they didn’t seem to matter so much anymore. Yet, I was still trying to put forth some […]
Running With Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
In my last post,I alluded to the fact that runners can continue to run even with knee osteoarthritis. Like most people, I use to think that knee OA was a wear and tear type of problem. Once I received that diagnosis, I was assured my running days were over. It was just a matter of […]
Running is the Easy Part
The actual act of running has always been easy for me. I don’t have any problems motivating or getting out the door. Living in Alaska, I run outside in almost all weather conditions. The only exceptions I have are running below 15°F and running on very icy roads or trails. It’s all these other areas […]
Hamstrings and Halloween
I still cannot do a hamstring curl. Not with my left leg anyway. So hard to even believe. This has created a great deal of stress for me. I mean, who can’t do a hamstring curl? Nobody I know…. So, I thought the standing hamstring machine was just a fluke of some kind. I had […]
Up and Running
Well, its been several months since my last blog post. Looking back on that post now, I was so hopeful. But that didn’t last long. I stopped seeing the physical therapists, ortho doctors, and chiropractors shortly afterwards. The reality was slowly sinking in. I simply can’t run! I felt like I had given the therapies […]
Januaury – Off and Running
Wow, practically one month into the New Year and it has been a busy one. But, I have not progressed very much in my running. One morning, frustrated, I really, seriously thought about how could this bilateral knee pain be such a problem. I didn’t have knee pain prior to going to Pt for my […]
Gonna Be a Great Year
Happy New Year! Okay, I am a little late on the New Year’s wishes, but I am really looking forward to 2019. I am not one for making New Year’s resolutions; that whole concept annoys me. But, I do believe this is the year that I either make some progress towards my running goals, or […]
Vitamin B12 Deficiency? What’s Next?
This is a post I was working on prior to the big earthquake! Finally, today I got a chance to review it and post it! I don’t know about other people, but when I am completely and utterly confused about things, I feel like a mental and physical paralysis sets in that leaves me incapable […]
