Ok, so it's been a very long time since I've posted anything. Here'ds an update.
I have been out of therapy 2 months now. YAY! My new running shoes just came in yesterday and it would be an understatement to say I'm EXCITED! I'm going to take the plunge and start running in the next week or so after a few more core sessions. Unfortunately, I bought some "everyday" shoes that irritated my back again so that's why I'm holding off. New Balance used to be great until I hurt my back...now I'm afraid to wear anything but Asics. Pretty sad when your year-old running shoes feel brand new compared to the month-old shoes you just bought. What a waste of $30. A new set of insoles and last years Asics will be good for another 6 months or when I finally breakdown and buy a new pair :-)
Anyway, goals...well I know it's a little early to be setting goals, but I have begun. I'm running a 5K on my birthday in July as my "come back" race. Last year I ran it in a horrifying 33:15. This year, I plan to be around the 25:00 mark. Why? Because I'm turning 25. Silly way to make a goal, but it's a goal nonetheless. I'm running another race in September with my best friend, Jennie, and some other college friends. I was hoping to make the half marathon, but I'm not going to kill myself again, so I'm sticking with the 4 mile. I would love to medal in my age group in the birthday race...just so I can send my therapist a picture to say "I DID IT!". She'd be proud. Thanks a million, Donna :-)
Well, enough typing and more working needs to be done. Until next time, ciao!
