Inconsistencies and a Plan For Progress

June 15, 2018 6 Comments

Hail storm

Wow, my injury diagnoses and leg pain are about as inconsistent as the Alaska weather. I woke up to a beautiful day with fresh snow on the mountains! It’s June in case anybody hasn’t noticed! Beautiful none the less. Then, I drove into Anchorage to work on my house. The weather was really nice, sunny, […]

Rainbows, Running, and Grandkids :)

Rainbow

There is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but I would settle for a good pair of running shoes and magical rainbow dust that cures running injuries. Yep, that would be my pot of gold, my dream to run again which would allow me to run all those bucket list marathons. […]

Running Rewired by Jay Dicharry

This has been a busy week and so very confusing at times. Of course if you read my last post, you will know that I have a new grand baby. A grand baby that I have not seen in a few days due to the fact that I am home with a pretty bad cold. […]

We have a baby girl! Charolette Joyce – “Charlie” 7# 3 oz      19.5″ We are so excited that she is finally here- 39 weeks and 4 days. We did not know the sex of the baby until she was born. I initially talked about her like she was going to be a girl, […]

I will Run again

With all of these running injuries, how do you know even where to begin? I don’t even want to begin until I can figure out what is the underlying cause. Once this injury heals (if it ever does), I hope I will have figured out what needs to happen to prevent running injuries in the […]

Is Running Rewired the Cure?

Items used in self massage

Running is touted as an easy sport. Just a pair of running shoes and one foot in front of the other is all that is really required. This way of thinking has rung true for me for many years. Running for the most part has been easy. What has made it more difficult for me […]

Running Injury, Dry Needling, and Cupping

Altra Escalante

Having a running injury that doesn’t appear to be getting that much better really is tough. I know I need to have more patience, but that is so hard when all I really want to do is run. 4-6 weeks is what I was told. Could be longer.  I consulted the calendar to see how […]

Boston Marathon BQ Training on Hold

April 17, 2018 Leave a Comment

Wow, congrats to Des Linden on winning the Boston Marathon in such grueling conditions.  There hasn’t been an American female winner of the Boston Marathon since 1985!! She looked so strong during those last miles. She was so exciting to watch, and I am so glad I didn’t miss it. I love this photo by […]

Motivation to run (or lack thereof) and Celebrating my Mother’s 85th Birthday!

February 26, 2018 Leave a Comment

Mom's 85th birthday

It’s amazing how quickly a perfectly well planned out running schedule can turn into days of no running! And what is even more amazing is how those days can turn into weeks and then, before you know it, a MONTH has gone by. But….this is how it all happened. Excuses???? Maybe….but legit to some extent.

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
