Guess Where I've Been....

It was a GLORIOUS trip to the UK, and I crammed so much into it. We had 5 days total, including the trip there and back (The 8-hour plane trip both ways sucked). Hubby had to go on business, so I tagged along. I even did some sightseeing alone, in another country - something I have never done, and am usually unlikely to do...

We landed in London, did some sightseeing, hopped a train to Bristol, did Bath (The City of Bath), Stonehenge, back to London and more sightseeing there.....

Good news: I've started running a week early (Shhhh!). So far I've run twice. The first time I stopped after 1.10 miles; the second time after 2.0 miles. I've scheduled myself a run this afternoon after work. I have not run two days consecutively and promised the doc I wouldn't.

It was so hard to stop when my mind and body was begging me to go, go, go, go! But I was a bit afraid. The broken ankle hurt pretty badly and I really don't want to go through anything like that again.

(Have I mentioned how badly I'll suck in the 10k coming up? With no preparation other than these short runs for THREE MONTHS... ugh)

The good, the bad and the ugly

Good:
It's good to be back.

It's good to wear SHOES again.

It's good to walk again.

Bad:
It's bad that I still can't run; 2 more weeks before I can run - and then I can only run 1-2 miles at a time. My running can re-commence one week before the Peachtree Road Race, the 10k I had been working toward for so long. Sad. Very sad.

Ugly:
I will now suck so much worse than I ever imagined in this race.

Such is life.

I started back on the elliptical Monday. That's all I can really do for now.
