Check out candy cane socks. Merry Christmas!
Finally is all I can say, those 8 weeks or 56 days seemed like eternity. But thankful I followed the doctors orders and am on the road to recovery. I am not totally out of the woods yet, but this is a huge step for man kind. It's insane how much I took my body for granted. You never realize until something is taken away how badly you miss it or how much you never appreciated it. Give yourself a hug, this gift called your body is incredible and you only get one so treat it right:)My legs and hips are incredibly sore almost worse than running marathons, but I take it as a win and one step closer to getting back to running. Gotta remember it's a marathon not a sprint.
Very random, but I like it! your welcome
So onto some business, we booked our plane tickets to the Boston Marathon this past week. Ekkkk so crazy to think it's already time to get the airfare nailed down. We wanted to make sure we got a flight so we booked it immediately. I mean I know everyone is coming to root me on, maybe I will save ya a seat. Just gotta be patient with this body so I can run that race and in pride. Today at the gym felt incredible as well. My dr cleared me to cycle and as always I am allowed to lift weights. I am too nervous to do legs so sticking to the upper body. I snapped a pic at the gym to show my arms, it's crazy how over the last 8 weeks how much my body has changed. I swear I am not conceited, I just wanted to show ya my progress. I felt funny snapping pics of myself so I tried to do it quickly when no one was around, wasn't sure how I would explain what I was doing. Hopefully this will make the transition back to running much easier.
I always was able to get my haircut! I have been waiting for the day to walk into a hair salon and get some of my locks chopped. I got 3 inches and still have a ton of hair. Yea know what they say, out with the old and in with new. While at the salon, I read a really cool article on an athlete who had knee surgery and wasn't sure she would ever get back to where she was before it. It's like someone placed that article there for me too read. I took a few snapshots of the articles. It really hit home and it's true, being positive makes your brain more creative and resilient. It's all about being optimistic, I guess same goes for things in life. Having a positive outlook in life can make or break you. So keep that head up and keep moving forward.
Check out a few lines, so true.
Have a great rest of the week. I can't wait for turkey day, so much to be thankful for this year.
