Here We Go Again

After two weeks of drought, I have attempted to start running again. I went to the gym and rode the bike, then ran 1.5 miles before my knee began to hurt, so I stopped and came right home to ice up. Running on a treadmill always used to piss me off, but today it wasn't that bad. My calfs were hurting, it was hot, I was sweating, and I couldn't keep from looking at the display every 30 seconds. But It was glorious. I was running again! It actually felt good. Like all my problems faded away and all I had to do was stay on that belt. Too bad it was short-lived. But it gave me hope that I may be able to get back to where I was before the shamrock run. I will see how I feel tomorrow, and maybe try for 2 miles (how exciting)!

My favorite workout song right now is "Ali in the Jungle" by The Hours. Look it up, listen to it. it's very motivating, especially when you have an injury. And yes, I did hear it from the Nike commercial on during the Olympics. I'm not very original.

I seem to have misplaced my ice packs...so I am sitting here with a frozen bag of corn on my knee. Dinner, anyone?
