I have been avoiding blogging and feeling a bit BLAH! I know I have a touch of the BLUES! Lately, I have been feeling heavy, literally I mean FAT and unmotivated. It has been 2 weeks since I was put in the dreaded boot for a torn tendon, and 9 weeks total since the doc said you need to take time off. I am not enjoying the REST as much as I probably should. I have a lot of Running on my mind.
Today I Swam for 30 minutes. It did feel great to be in the pool, especially since we have been having a Heat Wave and even the mornings are pretty miserable. But I just don’t get the same rush I do from Running or Spinning. I am the girl that sweats buckets and then heads to the grocery store. I know gross! But I love that feeling. Don’t get me wrong I do like to swim. Just don’t feel like I get the same workout. I keep telling myself This is good for me, I need to work on my Cross Training. And hey maybe a Triathalon is in my future…
I feel so out of the Loop and and disconnected. I keep missing things. I miss playing golf with the girls on Tuesday evenings. I miss all the great conversations and laughter during a long run with JL. I miss training for the 3 races I have at the end of the year. I miss my i-pod and my garmin. I miss all the food I could eat because I RUN! I just don’t even feel like a runner anymore.

And yes I will take some cheese with my whine!
The one thing that is keeping me sane, is reading all your blogs! Even though I have not been posting, I have been reading. You all are amazing and so inspirational. Congrats to all the R&R Runners, and anyone that was able to just get out and run. Bravo!!! Next time could you strap a camera to your head or body so I can virtually run with you? I promise to be good company... Now that would be so cool!
If you are going to Run, Run Half Crazy!

you poor thing! i would be doing lots of wining! i hate that you have been down and out, but hopefully you'll be fully healed soon!
Ugh, staying positive while on "injured reserve" is a tough one. You are wise to try new things. Summer is the perfect time for swimming and it's a workout that can shred some serious calories!
Besides being busy. The kids are out of school so I don't have much computer time until school starts again. I still can't comment on some blogs for some reason, so I am frustrated that I can't communicated with some of my new found friends.
