I've been MIA the past few days so I have lots to go back and catch up on. I'll give a brief update and then see everything I missed.
After taking 3 days off, I'm so glad I had a good run today. I had every intention of running Saturday and Sunday and essentially drank myself useless this weekend. I was feeling really down about that but my run today helped pull me out of the dumps. Needless to say I'll run a few extra miles this week to make up for it as well as lay off the drinks for a while.
11/01: 6.19
11/03: 4.7
11/05: 3.7
11/09: 5.45

Good news.. My physio is going to treat the snapped ligament/avulsion fragment as a bad ankle sprain and he has taped it up. He is happy that I can put weight on it with walking when I need to. A few times I have gone to pick up after my little boy and lent to the side a bit or put my weight on the back of my foot accidentally and I can definitely feel it.. but I can walk on it so that's something! Lots of flexing to do this week to help strengthen muscles. No weight-bearing exercise all week and no running for 6 weeks.. but I am getting away with just taping it up so I'm happy I have escaped a moonboot! I have already marked 6 weeks on the calendar.. Already going stir-crazy!!
Thanks again for well wishes!
@shanaber I love that photo of your dogs on the beach! So gorgeous!!
Edited to add: Physio is happy I'm getting Asics Cumulus runners - says the extra ankle support will not go astray after this

11/1: 22 miles LR
11/2: 5 miles recovery style
11/3: XT: 15 miles indoor bike
11/4: 10 miles
11/5: 7 miles tempo run (am), 7.2 with the Thursday crew (pm)
11/6: Rest day
11/7: 6 miles
11/8: 15 miles - partly with group, partly solo
11/9: 5 miles
Waited to run til the afternoon because I checked my phone before I even got out of bed, saw it was 32 degrees, and said, "Nope." Good bet, because I felt way less stiff this afternoon than this morning, and my run worked out the rest of the kinks so I'm nice and limber for my cross-training tomorrow.
77.2/150
Upcoming races:
11/14: Harrington Park 5k (USATF-NJ Women's 5k Championships!)

Haha, being at the halfway point already makes the goal seem much more reasonable since after the 22nd the majority of my miles will be big, fat zeroes. But until then, it makes me look like an uber-overachiever though, lol

I got home from work today and it was JUST too beautiful to not go outside and run. Which is probably a good thing since it's almost a third of the way through the month and my miles are severely lacking.

I love running in the rain, until it turns into a complete downpour and I can't see anymore. Then it's not so fun. But it always feels like a bit more of an adventure when it starts to rain mid-run.

Hi everyone! Glad I stumbled a cross this site. I am in need of some motivation. Since it is already the 9th, I will throw 60 miles out there. I am not a huge runner, so we will see how if I can progress.0

10 km run along the River bank trails after work - last 5k in the dark after sunset.
11/01 – 4.6 Km – 4.6km – 135.4 Km
11/03 – 5.6 Km – 10.2km – 129.8 Km
11/04 – 6.0 Km – 16.2km – 123.8 Km
11/06 –21.1 Km – 37.3km – 102.7 Km
11/08 – 5.0 Km – 42.3km – 107.7 Km
11/09 –10.0 Km – 52.3km – 97.7 Km
@kareF That is Good news Marking my calendar - when you comeback. Pretend it is W1D1 of C25K.
Actually I hope your Physio has you ease back into Walking/Running on the Dreadmill in the Physio Clinic where she/he can monitor you and offer Tips.
@kristinegift that's a Heat wave. In my run along the River Bank tonight It was -3C = 27F, add the Wind-chill factor -8C which feels like 18F. I did notice the first small Ice pans (dinner plate size) floating along in the river. Still at least a month until the True Freeze Up unless we get hit with 2 weeks of -40 ( = Dreadmill Running ).kristinegift wrote: »Waited to run til the afternoon-- saw it was 32 degrees, and said, "Nope."
On a completely different Subject and Sport I Just heard that Linda MacAlpine ( Canadian Ladies Collegiate Ice Hockey Coach ) has been recruited by Australia to Coach the Oz Ladies team. Yes I did say Ice Hockey - not Field Hockey.0 -
Hi, Everyone I love the way you guys are so motivated It always seems like no one gets tired in this group one thing that I am happy about is I have found a partner to run with or walk/run twice a week. I would love to try a marathon but it never happened because all thru my life I was moving and finnaly I stoped and were I stoped they don't have marathons but I found other great things that I can do mostly they are for women but some are for women and men. Yoga any one? 0

Little by little the runs are getting easier. Hoping to add 10% to my distance next week. Found out that I'll be out of the running game from 11/24-12/15. Boo.

@msf74 - Just the red dog is mine. The black one is a friend found on the beach. They do have a great time splashing, running and chasing and rolling in the sand of course
@snha - It is the Huntington Beach, CA dog beach. One of the few where dogs are allowed to run off leash here.
@skippygirlsmom - It is so good to have a dentist you like and trust. We have been seeing ours since college and I saw his dad until he retired. Don't what I will do when he finally decides to retire but he has kids in college to pay for yet so it will be a while!
@dharwood68 - it was great weather this morning for a run in the rain! Just wish you would have sent more of it south
@kareF - so glad you got good news about your ankle and that the physio is going to work with you and keep you out of a boot! The 6 weeks will be over before you know it and you will be back to running again!
@Virkati - the dog beach is so fun for all of us!
Got in a great easy run this morning in the cool, cloudy, almost, but not quite rain.

Welcome! We'll be glad to help you get addicted, and then enable your "acting-out"!0 -

Running has been the best thing for my drippy sinuses. Have you heard about the farmer's blow?

@juliet3455 Brr, that's so cold! Regular cold temperatures isn't too bad, but wind chill is the worst part of winter running, imo. Chills you to the bone! And -40 is just crazy cold. Ick! lol0 -

@karef- six weeks will fly by. Glad you have a person you trust to help you!
@dharwood68 - definitely love to run in the rain, unless it's lightning and then I'm a chicken.
Here is the bear my neighbor filmed with this security cameras. http://screencast.com/t/iBFd2108W
Neighbor went out to get the mail close to midnight and the bear ran away but then a few seconds later turns back. Bear has been seen just about every morning and night but is afraid of people (thank goodness), so I try to be noisy while running so bear knows I'm coming. I realized this morning my singing probably sounds like a wounded animal so I had to adjust the tone.0
