And here at Black Dog Productions, we are SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!
Wanna know why? Do ya? Doadoyadoyadoyadoya???? WELL. Lemme tell ya. ‘Cuz I know the suspense is just killin’ ya, ain’t it??
In just three more days, yes THREE DAYS, these vertically challenged, dumpy, landing-zone-of-silly-salacious-cellulite legs…..ARE GOING RUNNING!!!!!
I am officially eight weeks post #KneeGate2015, and with the blessing of PT Pam – along with a stern warning to keep the pace slow, and stop if it hurts, (um, we ARE talking about running here Pam), I’ve been given the green light to get back out there and crank out the miles mile. To start. I fully plan on having ALL the miles comfortably under my water belt long before the big day night arrives.
I even have a plan! Run. Run some more. Then, run some more. Stellar plan I know. Actually, with PT Pam’s guidance, a little patience, (okay, maybe a LOT of patience), and listening when the knobbies say, “hey lady, enough already!”, I’m hoping to at least have my mileage base pretty comfortably set by the time it comes to actually getting back to the whole business of, ya know, training. Of course, I do still have to keep in mind that little pesky fact that I still have to baby the OTHER knee, at least until after Wine and Dine, when #KneeGate2015 Part II will take place. Because, why go through the fun of wearing a funny hat, compression stockings, and having your loving hubby videotape you as you get stoned on happy juice, just one time, when you can have your very own instant replay?
So as you head out for your pain-free, non-leadleg, speedy jaunt along your favorite route on Sunday morning, please send some pixie dust in my general direction. And keep your paws crossed I don’t faceplant before I make it back to my front door. Thanks. Appreciate it.
Enjoy the ride.
How did you feel the first time back after a running hiatus? Nervous? Anxious? Nauseous? Was it easier or harder than you thought it would be? Did you hear choirs of angels singing your name?
I think you’re going to do great with your Wine and Dine training. Just follow your PT’s guidance, and don’t overdo things.
Yes Mom. HA! I win!
OMG, yay!! So glad to hear you’ll be getting back to running. You’ll kick W&D’s butt!
Sounds like you have a great attitude and that you’re listening to your body/doctor, and that’s all you can do, right? Sending LOT of pixie dust your way that everything goes smoothly for you! 🙂
Thanks so much Jen!! We’ll slog through the summer heat together!
Good luck getting back into the running groove. I’m sure it’ll be just like a riding a bike. You will have plenty of time to build your mileage up before Wine and Dine comes.
I think I’ll just have to learn about a whole new set of aches and pains. At least now I know what’s going on with them, lol! Thanks for the well wishes!
Yay! Exciting! I went through a knee injury about 5 years ago and when I got back to running I was thrilled and a bit worried about re-injury. But I took it slow, listened to my body, and kept up with my PT routine and everything was fine! I encourage you to forever keep up with your PT routine though. I stopped after a while and guess what happened? Stretch, strength and ice – the keys to staying injury free! Have fun on your first run back!!
Oh I absolutely plan on it! There’s no way I could have gotten back to this point without PT Pam and her magic!
Woot! How exciting is that?!
Exciting, nerve-wracking, nausea-inducing. Yeah, kind of like getting preggers, right? 🙂
THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING THING I’VE READ ALL DAY!
That’s…….pretty sad, actually. Especially when you’re on your way to PRAGUE!!!!!
