However, rest assured that my blog world silence is only because my life is so full of exciting and wonderful opportunities right now! I am incredibly grateful for the work and experiences that I have now and will report back in a little over a week with stories of success and inspiration!
In the meantime, I'm trying to start running again, after an extended break because I had a VERY bad shin splint in my left leg only. I kind of suspect it was actually a stress fracture, as the pain radiated from my shin up to my knee and down to my big toe and top of my foot. I have tried to rest it. I took 3 weeks off entirely, and before that only ran twice since December. I just purchased insoles for my running shoes yesterday with a much higher arch and it seemed to be much better today on a 6-ish mile run. Only problem is that I have a huge blister, but the inserts are heat customizable, so hopefully that will be taken care of soon!
Aaaand....
I'm supposed to run my first half marathon on March 27th!! I have NO IDEA why I impulsively signed up for it, but I am determined to complete it. Even though I know that I am grossly under trained.
See Girl Run!! For fun and to prove it to myself!
Well, I hope that everyone's lives are as beautiful and wonderful as mine is right now, because life is truly a gift and an exciting one at that! Take care of yourselves while I'm away!
P.S. If you want an excellent book to read I'd suggest:
No worries girl--live your life :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the half marathon!!

Hooray, you're back! Hope the recital prep is going well. I miss music soo much right now!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to rest your leg. I hope it continues to heal. Good luck with the half, too!
Congrats on signing up for the half-marathon! I find that when I have shin splits, if I stretch my hamstrings consistently, the pain goes away. Just my 2 cents :)
ReplyDeleteI write about faith occasionally in my blog, finnyfinds. Glad we have that (and running!) in common!
