@RespectTheKitty Yay! Good for you! We'll be cheering for you :smile:
-
Here I am - not running, just lurking like @Elise4270 :wink: I'm glad the PT visit was good - hope the other leg doesn't bother you for long. @RespectTheKitty YAY FOR YOU on your progress!!! That's so awesome. Here are congratulatory **hugs**...as for stairs...there are four (LOOONG) flights up to my office, and I should…

Amen to that! @kristinegift 's college running advice might be a great fit for Skip - - to be able to still participate & compete & run for the joy of running, without all the stress of getting recruited or running on a top team. @Elise4270 High five! PT power!

Hi all! Back again for this month's challenge. I stopped participating in the discussion last month because I was getting too depressed reading about everyone's running while being sidelined just waiting for the physical therapy appointment at the end of the month. Too bad for me, though - - in the end I really missed…
-
Spot on advice, @louubelle16. I'm sending hugs your way, @skippygirlsmom Hugs also to @RespectTheKitty so you can get through your Monday! @HonuNui I loved the Akamai herding video clip! That's awesome. Makes me wonder what my Pandora, with her strong herding instinct, but also strong guard dog barking instinct would do…

mmm...TexMex... so sorry about the slow recovery process @Elise4270 ...hang in there! Looks like I'll be joining you in a no-running month. Just made an appointment for my initial PT evaluation: they didn't have anything open until the 29th! Boo. Really I have no right to complain though. I am able to do plenty of other…
-
@karlundy Aw nuts! Hope you feel better soon.
-
I FINALLY got the referral for PT for my knees yesterday (I've had recurring problems with patellar instability). Hopefully I'll be able to get an appointment quickly so I can start the process of moving my knee caps back to where they belong and then...hopefully...back to running at some point in the nearish future?? So…

@mbaker566 I am so sorry! Sending you condolences, positive thoughts, and many *hugs* @katharmonic sending you condolences & *hugs* as well. I'm so sorry about your doggie.

@5512bf what cuties! Hope they (and you) have a great school year! @ceciliaslater beautiful horse! @Elise4270 Good luck at the doctor tomorrow! @katharmonic Hugs to you and your sick doggie :(

I didn't check the board all weekend, so now I'm several hundred posts behind! I hope to catch up, but in the meantime I'm gonna post my (non) progress :wink: 8/1.....rest day 8/2.....3.25 miles run/ walk on treadmill 8/3.....weights 8/4.....2.4 miles run/ walk in the park (achy, asthmatic slog in the heat & humidity -…

No running for me today: knee caps very sore :( Waiting for PT referral to arrive. In the meantime, rest, ice, frustration, etc...

@Stoshew71 thanks again for your encouragement & suggestions. As an on-again-off-again vegetarian getting enough protein has always been something I've had to watch. I know I wasn't getting enough before starting to track it here on MFP. I've been doing much better, but maybe need to increase it even more.... ...plus the…
-
Thanks @Orphia ! I really appreciate the encouragement.
-
Having participated in many sports I am definitely familiar with always pushing yourself way past comfortable in order to improve. I'm not opposed to that at all. It's just that my current slow jog doesn't seem like it should feel as tough as it does. I suppose I'm still remembering being able to run a lot faster without…
-
@luluinca @ceciliaslater @skippygirlsmom & @greenolivetree thanks for the encouragement! I really needed it today. Hope it is partly because of the weather, not just that I'm getting old & I suck at running :neutral: @Elise4270 I bet you could take on the bears
-
Me too! I'm in Chicago, where the weather sucks more or less year-round. That's why I advised Elise to avoid it :wink:

-
Bwahaahaa! Cracking up at the "brain bleach" comment. I could definitely use more of that! @Elise4270 I think you should go somewhere with year-round beautiful running/ swimming weather...no humidity, mosquitos, polar vortexes....is there an actual place like this on Earth? Definitely avoid Chicago area/ midwest US in…
-
@TattooedDolphinGirl78 Thanks! @Elise4270 Yeah, Pan could use a few sheep to keep her busy too :smiley: She's from the Navajo reservation, and definitely a herder. Perhaps we could add cat herding to our Dog Olympic events.
-
Arrgh! Don't know why the one photo posted sideways...sorry!
-
And because I can't resist, here are Buster and Pandora: BFFs and partners in crime Also, my boyfriend's bike pulling team!
-
Ha ha! My boyfriend and I were trying to come up with doggie olympic events. We decided Pandora (my blue heeler/ who-knows-what mix) would be very competitive at squirrel chasing, and Buster (his 1 year old German shepherd) would do well in fetch - both long and short distances. @shanaber I bet Hobbes would be a…

@shanaber Hobbes is awesome - and a cutie to boot!
-
Well I'm part way caught up with all the posts I've missed, but I just want to chime in here and say I love everyone's dog photos & stories! Except, of course, the news of your sick doggie, @katharmonic. I'm glad she's improved though. And I'm sending you big hugs, @Elise4270 - - hang in there. @Stoshew71 glad you got the…
-
So much fun! I've only done it a few times but I love it :smile: I'd vote yes for you getting one at the end of the season :smile: Back from the "wilds" of Michigan now (he he) :wink: though, and back to real life. Sigh....

@greenolivetree I wonder if wearing a compression sleeve like @ariceroni would help? It's tough to deal with feeling depressed from lack of your regular exercise endorphines (sp?) Hang in there!
