(Not an actual boat. We’ll get there.) Kim reminded me last week that I forgot to “recap” my PT appointment. The PT ran through all the SI joint tests and said it was moving as it should; I managed to pop it back into place while doing the assigned exercises. The only thing I should […]
Jumping back in: weekly wrap
I returned from my not-really-vacation last Tuesday and jumped back in to school the next morning. With all the work I had planned to do the prior week still waiting for me, along with 2 classes starting (1 as TA, 1 as student), I had no time to get myself together before the weekend. But […]
Holiday recap/2019 plans
It’s been a few weeks. My holiday trip to visit family was unexpectedly extended due to a hospital stay (not mine – thus no details here – but things are relatively ok now). Thus, I’m on my way home today just in time for the official start of the semester tomorrow. Nope, I’m not anything […]
Setbacks and winging it: week in review
*screams* Ok, that was overly dramatic, I just needed to get it out. I came down with a cold yesterday, so I had to keep myself home today instead of heading out for several mild, sunny trail miles. But my bigger frustration is the hip pain I mentioned last week. I went to the physical therapist […]
Almost double digits: LCL recovery weeks 7/8
Last week I sat in front of my computer to write a weekly review and thought “ugh, one more thing to do”…so I closed the tab and didn’t. What a ridiculous attitude to have towards something 100% voluntary and supposedly fun, right? While it is end-of-semester crunch time, the last couple weeks were really more […]
Time for rest: LCL recovery week 7
I only worked Monday and Tuesday last week. I planned not to do much for the rest of the week – things have been pretty non-stop the past month, including/despite being sick for a week. So it was about time for a semi-extended break. Monday I crammed in most of the work I needed to do […]
Mostly moving forward: LCL recovery week 6
After my test run last Sunday, I didn’t run again until Friday. Oh, except like a quarter mile at my form evaluation Tuesday. That’s the kind of week it was. At least I kind of made up for it over the weekend. I ran 1.4 miles around the neighborhood Friday and 2 trail miles Sunday. Kara got […]
One mile: LCL recovery week 5
Not a lot going on last week. I spent most of the week trying to get over a cold, so no pool running or other gym activity. I felt uniformly cruddy while keeping up with my usual obligations for the first half of the week, but I went home early both Thursday and Friday afternoons […]
Pretending I like water: LCL recovery week 4
I do like drinking water, just so we’re clear. I’m fine with looking at water, and floating on top of it. But being immersed in water is not one of my favorite things. Even hot baths only sound appealing every once in a while. Water makes you soaking wet, is usually too cold if it’s […]
Yellowstone City 30K recap
I ran the Yellowstone City 30K on September 23rd. This recap is really long without any intro blather, so I’m going to jump right in. The race was mainly an out-and-back, but the start and finish diverged slightly to begin and end at two different lodges in Paradise Valley (the area north of the north […]
