**Windows Live Writer won’t let me upload pictures right now.  I know your going to miss the gazillion pictures I post of myself.  Oh the sadness.  Sorry about that…not really.   Yesterday was my last day of PT.  I went twice a week for 6 weeks and absoutley loved the torture!  I’m kinda special like that.

I started running consistently this last week!!  Under Jeff’s advise (run at a 5 mile pace) here’s what I’ve been up to. Sunday:   Average pace per mile:  9:31 Today: APPM:  9:31 Funny how my pace was exactly the same without even trying.  I’ve had zero pain & very little tightness in my arch and [...]

Hello from Pismo Beach!!  Oaky so now let’s back up & fill you in on the last week or so. Saturday the movers showed up bright & early, loaded all of our worldly belongings in a truck and moved us to a condo in Mountain View. After moving twice in the last 6 months, we [...]

Oh hey look, I be runin’!!  Well kinda. Under Jeff’s close supervision, I ran/walked a mile.  12 minutes to be exact, but who cares about how slow I was.  I got to run! I had mild tightness in my arch, but he said that’s okay, just as long as I’m pain free. Then he said [...]

The nerd in me is uber excited to be practically neighbors with these geeks!! And the fact that I just found out Instagram is available on Android!! Nerd alert. Yesterday I [...]

Before I get into my trip to Ikea, I’ll update you on how physical therapy is going. I’ve been working with Jeff twice a week for 3 weeks and feeling a little better.  It’s still too soon to see a huge improvement, but I’ll take what I can get right now.  He tortures me (in [...]

Round 2 of physical therapy went really well today.  Jeff had me do the exercises I’ve been doing at home to make sure my form is correct and added new ones.  My favorite part in the massage & stretching at the end.  Hurts so good. Funny story, I started doing leg lifts with a weight [...]

After 6 months of not being able to run over 4 miles without pain & tightness, a faulty pair of custom orthotics and a lot of frustration, I asked my podiatrist for the second time to give me a referral to physical therapy.  Well I actually made it seem like it was his idea and [...]
