#tbt #imissrunning From my @strava log (Nov 11, 2020): "Take the D Train to Coney Island and run back to the Bronx. 🚇⛱🏃🏽‍♂️ I took parts of the Brooklyn Half and NYC Marathon routes, then went nuts. This was the first time I have been to Coney Island since the 2018 Brooklyn Half, great to look out at the Atlantic Ocean and to also see the Rockaways and NJ off in the distance. I don't know my way around Brooklyn and Queens as well as the Bronx or Manhattan, so I kept the planned route to straightaways, a good mental toughness challenge. Running down Bedford Ave felt never-ending. It was so relieving to see Manhattan Ave, the visual cue that running into Queens was coming very soon. Good run this afternoon. It didn't start raining until I crossed into Queens. A good soaking rain while I ran into Astoria and onto the Triborough Bridge to Randall's Island. Now it's time to plan next week's long run. Post run beer in the shower ✅. 😁🍺🚿" #strava #garmin #altrarunning #xeroshoes (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca8HW7ovRX8/?utm_medium=tumblr

You always wonder if you are tough. At least I do. There is a sense of pride in thinking you can tolerate pain more than others. My goal was to take the least pain killers as possible. I don't want to be dependent and if I don't feel pain, I feel I am good. The day after surgery I stopped taking my dosage at 11 am (24 hrs after surgery). The medicine made me sleepy and I'm not a fan of sleeping all the time. My mom and I ran errands throughout the day and by 5 pm I was tired. My leg felt heavy and getting on and off the car was very tiring. I would say it felt like I kept carrying a 5 gallon jug around and it didn't hurt, it was just hard. At 7 pm I started to feel pain, I'm assuming that's when the medicine started to get out of my system and by 11 pm I was hurting. I took a painkiller then (half the dose I was taking). It didn't get better and 4 hrs later I took another pill. The anesthesiologist had warned me that if I stopped and I had pain, the catching up would be the hardest part. It was. It was a hard night and my will broke. I decided I would take one every 6 hrs today. I feel better and my swelling has gone down. My brain still can't fully focus. All I can do is wait and be patient. My body is working hard to heal. I'm not as strong as I want to be but I'm ok with it. I am happy and thankful I came out ok. I'll increase the time between dosage until Monday. That's when I'll see the doctor and my scar for the first time. Wish me luck!

Foot injury week 2- doesnt hurt as much, and I was able to progress to biking. Not nearly as much fun as running though... #running #runnergirl #imissrunning #biking #determined #goals

Welp, the prognosis is: Dislocation of the peroneus tendons. That’s the snap I heard and felt between mile 8 and 9 of the half marathon. When I told the podiatrist I mall-walked the rest, she grimaced and said I probably shouldn’t have. She also told he she has “loose tendons” herself and they often pop out of place. As validating as that was to hear, I can’t help but feel like this has set me back to square one. I follow up in 2 weeks, which could determine whether I stay in the boot, need physical therapy and/or, dare I say it, surgery, if it gets worse, so until then, I will go back and forth with accepting my body-mandated rest period. And most likely binge watch anything and everything on my various means for streaming videos. #sadface #pityparty #dislocatedtendons #boot #footinjurysucks #imissrunning #somuch (at Frederic, Wisconsin)
