Injured already?!
So I got the green light from my doc last Monday to run. I ran 1.25 slow miles on Friday morning, and went out for an hour trail run on the top of Mt. Lemmon after a public meeting last Saturday (yes, a meeting on Saturday morning!). On the way back down the trail, I landed wrong on my left foot, turning my ankle outward. I was able to gingerly run a bit more, but pretty much just walked back to the car.
Since then, my left arch has been KILLING me. It was getting worse and worse. Today is the first day it is starting to feel a little bit better.
I got all of two runs in before I hurt myself, dammit!
I will try tomorrow morning. We'll see how it goes.
Kiera is running the half-marathon next Saturday (that I won't be able to do). Good luck and have fun!!! I'll be looking for a half-marathon to do sometime this spring. That, and I need to figure out what to do for my 30th bday (granted, it's seven months away, but training takes time, especially if I want to do something wicked!).
On to other news:
My art-related blog has gone kaput, as I discovered a much better way of documenting my art stuff. I finally finished a canvas that had been gestating for weeks; that feels FANTASTIC!!!
Some of the crappity crap crap from this summer is getting more resolved, which makes me (and Ash) way way way happier!!!
C is meeting my parents tomorrow night; this is a big deal. I don't know why I'm telling y'all, other than that I'm a little freaked out! Let's hope my 'rents can keep the sex and bodily function talk down to a minimum. But seeings as how their main mission in life is to embaress their offspring, we'll see how that goes. Oh, and I hope they don't go off on politics or religion (they are polar opposites of C and me on those topics)...
I'm getting Internet service at home again next week, YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! Maybe then I can actually keep up with y'all and find out what you've been up to.

Hi Angie -
What medium are you using to paint in? Is it oil paint or acrylic?

Okay, duh, i just looked at it again and i see that you're using acrylic. Nice vibrant colors! It's beautiful.

good luck with C meeting the 'rents! I'm sure it will go fine!
hope that ankle/arch heals quick.

You certainly seem to have interesting parents!

At least it was an ankle turn and not the knee. (Yep, that me...Mr. Glass-is-half-full. That's just how I roll.) Which half is Kiera doing? I'm doing the Flagstaff Half Marathon on the 22nd.

I'll be thinking of you guys as he "meets the parents" and hopefully he won't have to undergo what the guy in the movie did:)

Just found your blog...I have enjoyed reading about your running over the past two years. I am presently where you seemed to be about two years ago, and I have my first 5K trail run in November. 20lbs down, 60 to go...

Take it easy on that ankle, girl. And I hope your parents took it easy on C.
