Who knew it existed: life after a stress fracture! I've been back in the saddle for two weeks now. Well, it's more a reminder of my earlier days in voltige, I am only halfway on the horse! I started running again the week of my birthday starting slowly, painfully s-l-o-w-l-y! It's what I am supposed to do, or at least that's what everyone tells me to do. Well, excepte for my Dr. who doesn't really want me to run until the end of December... he doesn't really expect me to follow his advice though. Thankfully for me, his daughter is a runner, a serious one, not an amateur like me, so he understands.
In typical me fashion, I've put the horses before the cart - is that even an expression in English? - and I signed up for a race at the end of April. Nope, it's not Nashville, I am not running it this year, although my running partner Debbie is and I know she'll smoke it. It's actually a MUCH prettier race! I signed up for the Ragnar Relay in California with the team I was supposed to race with the Ragnar Relay in Texas. We'll be running from Santa Barbara, all the way down to Dana Point. I am so excited, especially given that we'll be running through Santa Barbara and Ventura. :)
I just need to keep taking it easy and s-l-o-w-l-y to make sure I can actually participate in the race.
