I really need to start running again! Only 1 more month to go! It sucks because I read the forums at RW and read my magazines and get SO motivated to go running. Sometimes I will even 'run' a few steps in my house just because I want to run THAT bad. My knee totally feels like I COULD do it which doesn't help matters. My quad strength is still lacking, but what better way to get it back then to run??? To bad physical therapy does not agree...LOL. I guess I am thankful that I still have the motivation to run. It kills me when I read about 5k's and such coming up. There is one nearly every weekend on this small island. Some friends of mine are running a 10K relay that I would have loved to join in.
I had my follow up with my surgeon last week. Things seem to be doing ok, except for the pain on the outer backside of my knee. He briefly mentioned that sometimes they have to go back in and clean things up and THAT scared the crap outta me. I would be devastated if I had to have another surgery. I am hoping that pain resolves itself.
Tomorrow is my dermatology appointment. I am nervous, but more excited to get it over with. I think waiting is the worst part.
Still eating like crap, but trying every day to keep it reasonable. I do great until about 3pm! For me, I find it truly hard to 'diet' when I cannot exercise. I guess I am exercising...in pt. It is mostly weight training, though. I want to get my heart pumping!!!
Do you think it would be stupid to spend $50-75 on a running outfit that does not fit? I have always been a tomboy and loved athletic clothes. It sucks that I cannot fit into most of them! I have been considering buying an XL outfit that I love as motivation.
What else. I am starting to pick up my camera again. I got super burned out on it at the end of last year. That was scary because up until then, I wanted to make a career out of it. I still do, I just have to change the things that caused me to burn out. Today, I took some portraits of my boys. A couple of them are SO GORGEOUS, if I do say so myself. Then again, I always love pics of my boys! I'll post a few. :)

Wonderful pics!!!
Nice to se you back. I can somehow relate to what you're going through because I haven't really done much running this month because of a knee injury due to me falling during one of my runs. Hang in there and you'll be back in no time!!!
Beautiful pics...they really are fantastic. I hope you pick up your camera MORE often!
What a cute kiddo.
Don't be too hard on yourself about running/not running. It'll come when it's right.
Jenn I love the pics! Gorgeous! I'm so excited for you and the fact that you get to start running again soon. I'll be right there with ya. I'm sidelined for at least 3 weeks myself. And hey, why not splurge on the running outfit? It'll get you motivated to run.
