Fooey!

A monkey-wrench has been thrown into my 5K plans in the form of 2 minor foot surgeries, poo! One was done today and then next one will be in early March. They're nothing terrible, but enough to keep me from running for some weeks while I heal.

I may start running in the weeks between each procedure or I may wait until I am done with both completely... I haven't yet decided. I hate getting on a roll and then having to stop and feel like all my hard work has been completely undone, you know? And now its time to get back to the couch and prop my throbbing foot back up on a mountain of pillows, whilst waiting for the Lortab to do its job! ;)

C2-5K: Week 1 Day 1

I just got back from my first walk/run! It's 27* outside (feels like 18* w/ the wind chill factor) but I was determined. I decided to take Sirius along with me (hoping he'd keep me going) but he really just slowed me down, wanting to stop every 5 feet to smell something or mark his territory, grrr... I don't think I'll be taking him anymore.

I was hoping it would go better than it did. I walked a lot more than I ran, but I'm sure that as time progresses that will turn around. I'm just glad that I did it and I'm back at home where it's nice and warm and the wind isn't blowing. I'm exhausted but quite content with myself. :)
