Back out there and loving it!!

Yesterday with the kids back to school and me not having to work, I wanted to get it ALL done!! From the minute my feet hit the carpet I already had a list of things to do going on in my head.  I also knew it was going to be sunny and 46 today so for my run I wanted to go hit the bike path. 

 Here is where I came from....

Here is what was in front of me...

And here is how happy I was...

With all that I had to do today I only wanted to do a quick two miles and it was wonderful!! The sun shining and the temps being just right!  I also took the puppies for a 1.5 mile walk.  So not too bad for a Monday and with all that I needed to do.  

Hope everybody's Thanksgiving holiday was a good one.  

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my blogger friends!! Good luck to all who are running in a local Turkey Trot.  My daughter-in-law and family friend, Candice are running a Turkey trot as I am typing this.  Here is a pic of me and my daughter-in-law two years ago on the morning of our Turkey Trot.  Sure wish I was out there with her!  

Happy update....

This is what it looks like after you get done with your first run in ummmm almost six weeks!! Yes I finally got to do a short two mile run this morning!! I felt wonderful and the foot was fine. I could feel a little bit of annoyance but other than that it was great.

I started slow and ended slow and it was way okay with me!  My plan is to do two mile runs on the treadmill three days a week and do the elliptical two days a week.  Of course there will be weight training in there as well.  Today was shoulders, bis and tris.  

Today was also a foot recheck with my doctor since the foot injection almost elven days ago.  I told him how I felt and that even though it didn't feel a hundred percent it felt a whole lot better than before.   He said that is what he wanted to hear.  Said that over the next four weeks it should get better and better.  Said that he didn't want any long runs or outside runs and that everything should stay low impact for the next four weeks.  He was totally fine with me running gently on the treadmill and to keep it at 2-3 miles.  No speed work or hills.  Hey....I'm good with that for now!! 

So hopefully I will be on here a bit more just documenting my progress and such.
