May 2, 2012

You know what happens when you get wrapped up in joy from recalling amazing experiences and intense happiness as I did yesterday? You forget about pain. Real, physical pain. I was already unsteady on my bad ankle, which is actually healing, but isn't used to being walked on for longer than 1 mile. Add in a ...

Lightening the Load

April 25, 2012

Today I found myself back in the orthopaedists office, where I was last getting my purple cast cut off. There was a slight tingle in my ankle, but it wasn't constant and was definitely much, much better than it has been in one year. Five minutes later, I was walking out with the all clear to ease ...

It’s so frustrating to not be able to do what you want. Between the boot, cast, now another boot, I feel like I have completely become a couch potato. Now, I’m in physical therapy for 12 weeks (I have 8 more as of right now). At each twice per week session, I’m doing what should …

Letter to my Feet: Part 2

03.07.2011

Dear Feet, I’m sorry I ranted at you publicly the other day. I was really in a bad spot and took my frustration out on you. But you’re a champ, Feet. Really.

Extreme Kickball and Inches Lost

07.05.2010

I know that extreme kickball and inches lost don’t really go together as a topic, but since I haven’t blogged this holiday weekend and that is what I have to talk about, here it goes! After I blogged Saturday about my (almost) killer session with Trainer Rob, my body just felt really fatigued. It was going …
