Has it been a trip! It’s been 5 weeks now and most days I can walk WITHOUT a limp! Hallelujah! Some have asked for photos, so I thought I would just put up a post. If you don’t like to see scars, etc., I wouldn’t read this post. 🙂 I am incredibly thankful for the […]
working' it! {project 365 :: 5/365}
I worked out for the first time today since surgery. I hurt already. My left calf has practically zero muscle. It makes me very sad, I actually cried the other day at my so quickly diminished lack of muscle. One day at a time. And today my day was on the Arc Trainer. I’ll get […]
today’s the day, bring on the knife…carefully!
At 9:00 am today I am going under the knife again. This time it will be on both my feet. In October of 2009 I had surgery on my right foot to remove a neuroma as well as lengthen my calf. Well, of all things, the neuroma in my right foot came back. Suck! Very […]
the foot…the lovely foot
An update. As you may have known, I had surgery back in October 2009. Adalynn was about 6 months old. I had a neuroma removed in my foot and my calf muscle lengthened. It has been great, until recently. I always have people asking what a neuroma is and I found a good webpage about […]
I duathlon’d it!
Oh yes I did! In true “Shannon Fashion”, I decided about 8 hours prior. So at 10:30 at night there we were in the garage getting me “fit” into Mike’s road bike. It was Mike (my hubby), my sister Lindsay and her hubby Mike! I had never ridden his bike before. He got it when […]
We ran…
…and ran we did! sounds a little like a Dr. Seuss book. But imagine me, a 21 week prego running a 5K. Well…I did! And that’s the first one I have ever run. I typically run the longer races, but I guess now I have a very attainable goal to break! I had a side […]
i went for a run…
…AND IT WAS AWESOME!!! I have been wanting to get outside and run but this darn Michigan weather hasn’t been cooperating. So, when I woke this morning I saw the sun shining through the blinds and the first thing I said was “I am running outside today!” I was so excited! And I was able […]
Since my Marathon…
…I have done nothing!! I haven’t worked out and I have rarely taken a walk. It was awesome. Back to reality this week 🙂 I did a bunch of research on how to ween back in after running a Marathon. One site that I simply love is Run Like a Mother. They actually have a […]
Marathon = Check!!
I AM A MARATHONER!! I did it! I’m so proud of myself! I had been having some major issues with my knees, among a few other things. I truly didn’t think it was going to happen. The night before the expo (where I was going to go and change over the 1/2 marathon), I read […]
4 instead of 2…
So…I went out for a run today with the lowest of low expectations. Well, I ended up surprising myself. The run went surprisingly well. I have been having quite a few knee issues. I am not saying my knee issues are better. But, I was able to run 4 miles with hardly any pain. And […]
