Hooray for the Weekend!

Friday
This is the day I got my cortisone shot in my heel.  It hurt a little this time (as opposed to last time).  I'm hoping that means the doctor got that needle and its wonderful anti-inflammatory concoction in the right place.

Saturday
I'm taking my heel with me on a run tomorrow morning so I'll let you know how it does.  I'm not convinced it will be all better but as long as I can run, I'll be happy.

To Trail or Not to Trail
I initially wanted to do a trail run tomorrow but I'm wondering if it would be best to stick to the roads for a little while.  I notice that my foot slides a bit on the "push off" when I run on dirt.   I'm not sure how great that is on my heel.

Well, that's all for tonight!  I've had fun catching up on some of your blogs.   I've been out of Bloggyland for a few days (Christmas shopping) and I apologize if I've missed anything important.  I'm trying to keep up with everyone... even if I don't leave a comment.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Hope you have a great run tomorrow! I have always found trail running to be harder on my feet, but that may just be because I don't do it very often.

I hope your run was wonderful today, it was such a gorgeous day! I imagine that it was pretty warm out your way! We were thinking about running out at Daly Ranch tomorrow but it might be too warm! It still feels like Christmas though! I hope your heel is okay and I'm glad you took it running with you today!

Hope your heel is feeling great after the run. Everyone tells me trail running is easier on your legs/feet. But I think it is harder for me. I get worried I am going to fall so tense up.

A Few of my Favorite Things Giveaway & Happy Blog Birthday!

Image
Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday, dear Blo-ooog... Happy birthday to blog! One year ago today I posted my very first running blog post. If you feel so inclined, you can read it here .  The funny thing is, I thought I had come up with an original idea:  I would chronicle my marathon-training journey for all the world to see! It didn't take long to discover that there were lots of people out there with running blogs.  Did I mind?  Heck, no!  What I lacked in originality, I gained a hundred-fold in support, encouragement, and knowledge from this incredible community of runners. I believe there is a good chance that I would have given up on running and training if it weren't for my Running Blogger Friends.  Your stories, experiences, triumphs, trials, and heart-breaks have kept the running spark alive in me.   I consider each of my Running Blogger Friends a blessing. In order to thank you and to celebrate my b...

Goals and Plans for 2010

Image
I'm caving into the peer pressure and decided to blog about my goals (or "resolutions" if you prefer).  I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but, as always, I've been inspired by my Running Blogger Friends. Health Goals Eat more fruits and veggies... in fact, as of three days ago, I'm a vegetarian.  I'm going to go month-by-month on the whole vegetarian thing.  I'm trying it out to see if being a vegetarian makes me feel any different.   Eat more raw foods Drink at least 60 ounces of water everyday Cut back on sugar Training Goals Ride and Run a total of 2010 combined miles Strengthen my core, ankles & feet, and upper body Join a running group Run or cross-train five days a week Get custom orthotics if current injury-eliminating endeavors don't work   Personal Goals Get clean laundry put away before the pile turns into Mt. Everest I try to be realistic when I set goals.  I think all of those goals are do-able.  We...

Lazy Slug Award

And the Lazy Slug Award goes to... SARA JONES of Running through Life! Acceptance Speech "Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! I- I can't believe it! I don't know what to say except, er... um... thank you? There are just so many- so many others I'd like to thank for helping me achieve this... this... honor? First, I'd like to thank my 'right hand man'... Left Foot! I couldn't have done it without you. You've been there for me since before Right Knee Pain left me. Every time the sun comes up, there you are! Your multiple visits with me throughout the day are constant reminders that I can't get out there and run. So, I owe much of my Lazy Slug success to you. Next, I'd like to thank Sleep Les Ness . Sigh... What can I say about Mr. Ness? You usually travel with others when you come to visit. You especially like to show up with my sons when they sneak into my bed in the middle of the night. Or when they wake up early. Sometimes you even surprise ...
