2/18

How unbelievably frustrating this is becoming.......I am now spending 3 hours a week in physical therapy and my ankle is taped for much of the week. How I managed to injure it this badly is beyond me. My physical therapist doesn't want me doing any walking, eliptical and certainly no running at this point. I am spending all my time with strengthening right now and just started Pilates. She won't give me a time when I can start running yet but from the direction of my sessions, I can tell it isn't going to be too soon. This stupid ankle just won't heal!!!!! So, as of now I am shooting for the June 1st 1/2 marathon, rather than the 4/27 one. That is only about 15 weeks from now. I know I need at least 13 solid weeks and because I have not ran AT ALL in more than a month now, I am getting worried. It will be like starting from scratch. But I am not losing hope.....yet.

Keep the faith!!! You can overcome anything and achieve any "reasonable" goal if you set a plan for success and stick to it!

Ok, so I'm not the most objective person, when it comes to my kids...and, as you well know, I'm always optimistic (to a fault, according to some)! So I guess it's time for one of those adages:
SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION!
