Back in the game...

So it has been a long few weeks and trying also. I was doing exceptionally well with training switching days off between running and cross training with weights. However almost 2 weeks ago I sprained my knee, specifically the ACL, MDL, and meniscus. I was completely off my feet for several days. I did do Relay for life but on crutches it was hard. Once I finally got over my stuborness and went to the doctor I was put on no more than 2 hours of being on my knee for a week. This meant no work, and staying in bed all day. Not very fun, and also not easy to eat well. Needless to say I didn't eat very well last week and working out was pretty much out of the question other than the physical therapy I had to go through. So this brings us to today.



Yesterday I was FINALLY released back to work for full duty and I could walk fairly well without my brace. So now that I have been released for work I have to slowly get back into training, I am going start with yoga tonight. Hopefully by the middle of June I will be able to get back into training again. I have come to terms with the fact that I will run with a light brace on which won't be that bad, thinking about it that is probably what I should have been doing. So now that I am back in the game I am making a statement that I will start working out as much as I can and am going to eat better. Feb. 21, 2011 will be here before I know it.

Milestone accomplishment

Today was an amazing day for me. I was able to run without stopping half of a mile. To most that won't sound so amazing but for considering about 5 weeks ago I couldn't even run for 30 seconds without getting winded this is an accomplishment. This week was my week to get back into everything and I have a feeling if I keep pushing myself and keep on my training I will be able to run the 5K in no time, I am training for the Austin Half Marathon Feb.20,2011. I plan to be able to run or jog as much of that as I can so we will see. Today was a major milestone in my short running time. If anyone has advice or areas on how to help me improve or just wants to train with me just let me know you can reach me on email and facebook.

Tonight is off to sleep and tommorow I am going to attempt to go even further on the track or outside depending on how warm it is. Have a wonderful early early morning everyone.
