Come on, are you serious?
Day 1 back to running and training for my half-marathon and I injured my darn knee.
I made myself run the mile from home to my meeting today, convinced that I would not have run otherwise. Once the meeting was done and I had only 15 minutes to get back home in time to shower and leave for work -- I had to run back.
Halfway through my return run, I started getting sharp pains along my right lateral knee. I tried not extending so much, putting more weight on the left... but I ultimately just pushed through.
By the time I got to work, parked and tried to walk down the ramp, I was completely limping. Unbelievable.
Yes, I had on kitten heels which arguably did not help the situation. But, by the end of my 9-hour stint, I was hobbling and praying some nice security guard would offer me a ride to the garage, dreading the walk and flight of stairs that awaited me. Both were excruciating by the way.
I iced the disappointing knee for 90 minutes on my drive to Jersey. My disability improved from hobbling back to limping. I am really beyond irritated. It reminds me of my ridiculous ankle injury in month 2 of training for my 5K earlier this year. But, the rest of that training was a success, so hopefully there's good luck for me the rest of this training, too.
Run:
1.03 mi, 11:29 going to meeting
1.03 mi, 10:53 on the way back

25 Down... Now the real challenge begins
This is my first picture at goal (during a girls + kids trip to Boston).
I'm currently 25 pounds down now. I lost 3 more pounds since October 15th.
Now the biggest goal: to keep the weight off for an entire year.
October 15, 2011.
Here we go!
