Happy holidays from sunny, cold, but still blue sky Seattle. It's been a good few days off. I did pretty good with the eating, and I'm still "no impact". Whatever... I walked a ton, I managed food OK, but I haven't done anything on the exercise front. Alrighty then... now that I got that off my chest :) I go back on the 8th to see what I can start doing. The hip runs about a 2 to 6 on the pain level, which is a hellavu lot better than the 9 to 11 when I was in Mexico and the weeks after. Soooo maybe a little rest is OK and it's healing. I still can't jump on it like Joe the PA said I had to do. Honestly, what I'm hoping for is that on the 8th, I go in and good ol' Dr. R. tells me that I can start his run a minute, walk a minute routine.
I'd like to be able to at least do the StairClimb in March, and the Wenatchee 10K in April. It's good to have goals :)
I went to GreenLake today to take the Mercy, the duck tolling retriever/queen squirrel hunter for a walk. It was good. As much as I wished I was there in running attire and cruising around the lake at my usual manatee pace, I was OK with a walk. I will say, that I honestly believe, of all the sports out there, running is the most positive. You can be out there shuffling your feet going oh so slow, but you're out there. You can be the one who is stretchin the lycra to it's maximum ability, but you're out there. You can be the college kid, the mom, the grandpa, but you're out there. You can be older and slim and fit or young and slightly rotund and huffing and puffing, but you're out there. I love it. It's absolutely amazing to see so many different people out moving. LOVE IT !
I'm hoping that 2010 has good things in store for me (and all you readers too). But hope, yeah, it doesn't change the scale or make you have triceps, sooooo, I can hope all I want, but I gotta have ACTION behind that hope.
Here's to being in action in 2010 !!
