Up and Running

October 29, 2019 2 Comments

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

January 25, 2019 4 Comments

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 […]

I will Run again

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?

December 7, 2018 2 Comments

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 […]

EARTHQUAKE 2018

December 6, 2018 Leave a Comment

  An Earthquake hit Alaska at 8:29 Friday (11/30/2018) morning with a magnitude of 7.0 and a depth of about 30 miles (pretty shallow). The epicenter was about 7 miles N of Anchorage which is pretty close to me. I felt like I was sitting right on top of it. My house shook for what […]

August Family Fun Time

August 28, 2018 2 Comments

August has been busy but full of fun and family time.  To start off with, Scott and I took a hike up Mile High Trail in Eagle River. We initially just wanted to go on a hike, but  once we got there, we noticed lots of blueberries and thought about picking some.  This area has an […]

Running Update

Wow, it has been a busy month. How can it be the end of August already. The time just flies these days and I can’t keep up! Running Update I was given the okay to go from the treadmill to running on any terrain by my PT. And I did just that. I went from […]

Running Update and Finding a Physical Therapist

July 31, 2018 4 Comments

  Running Update I have advanced from this run 1/walk 1 on the running program to run4/walk 1 although I did have to drop the speed down to 5.5. My cardiovascular system has taken a hit since I have not been running. I really did think I would be further along than I am by now.  […]

Run Faster Vs Slower Pace

July 17, 2018 2 Comments

My latest physical therapy appointment was quite interesting. Dr. Rogers asked how things were going since I last saw her about three weeks ago. She was a little surprised that I was still having some pain around my knee – sometimes above, sometimes below, it just varies really – so she put me on the […]

July 12, 2018 4 Comments

Recently, I attended a clinic/talk about Master athletes and how to keep moving as we age.  The event was hosted by Skinny Raven Sports and the guest speakers were Dr. Tower, a local orthopedic doctor, and Dr. Rogers who is a physical therapist certified in sports injuries. I was really excited for this event because […]

It’s been hard to get anything done or even thin It’s been hard to get anything done or even think about running with all that is happening in the world🥲 but I managed to get down my icy driveway to run on the dry roads. Super windy!!! I had a really hard time on the hills  against that wind. But I got it done and I increased my run/walk to a 4:1 ratio x 7 so I am happy about that. #runnersofalaska #runalaska #runwalkrun #runnersover60 #ilovetorun #buildingarunningbase #windyalaska #crazywinterweather
Sonja - @nurse_sonja_ak - and I had planned to cel Sonja - @nurse_sonja_ak - and I had planned to celebrate in memory of my Mother on her birthday but I had minor surgery that left me down and out longer than I had expected and Sonja ended up positive for Covid. But, despite that look what she did! She is so talented and creative. She remembered Mom as someone who was always stylish. She took pride in her appearance. A specific memory inspired Sonja to make these beautiful clay earrings! How special is that? My Mother would have loved these. #inmemory #rememberingyouonyourbirthday  #neverforgetyou  #bestdaughterintheworld❤️ #talenteddaughter❤️ #clayearrings #madespeciallyformom  #thelittlethings❤️

Running with knee OA is interesting. Take yesterd Running with knee OA is interesting.  Take yesterday, my knees were bothering me a little, to the point that I wasn’t sure if I should run. But, I thought… give it a try, see how it goes. I can always just walk. And it went great! I even added an extra run/walk cycle to the program. And today I have absolutely no knee pain. I’m even running up and down stairs (when I need to go up them) trying to create some pain (I know sicko) but nothing??? Go figure! Nothing has changed. But hey, I’ll take it! #runningwithosteoarthritis #kneearthritis #runnersover60 #runwalkrun #kneepain #nokneepaintoday

I’m not sure that I should go on vacation especi I’m not sure that I should go on vacation especially if I am going to have such a hard time adjusting back to the cold!  I’m beginning to believe that the cold and dark is not good for my health. It was soooo nice in Hawaii!! I’m still getting out for my runs and bike rides but I have been slow to get back to the exercises and stretching.  I’ll get there! #backtothecoldweather #runak #buildingarunningbase #crosstraining🚴#winterbiking🚴❄️ #fattirebiking #runnersover60  #keeponkeepingon🏃‍♀️

While we were away the temps warmed up to in the 40s causing everything to melt just so it can freeze over once the temp drops!! Please send me back to #mauisun . We did get out for a bike ride today so it wasn’t too bad I guess. The new snow made conditions a little tolerable.  #winterinalaska #snowandice #fattirebiking #winterbiking #ilovemyfattirebike #ilovetorun #running2run #getfitalaska #optoutside
