Since my last run I have really worked hard to get healthy and healed. In my life thats making a lot of changes but Ive done it!  Ive kicked my liquid consumption, went to the Dr about my knee, (Im taking Diclofenac which has taken 99% of the pain away) and Ive stretched daily for my hamstring pull.  I have ridden my stationary bike a few times, played soccer, baseball and woffelball with my kids without pain for the past 3 weeks.  Ive come to the realization that I will never be a "real runner" like others on this blog, but I can still go out there and run and feel good about doing it. I can spend 15 min a day on the stationary bike and I can run a mile every day. I will find the time to do that for myself!

Overall I am feeling better, Im a little nervouse to try running again but I think Im ready.  Tommorrow is the big day (as long as the weather holds up)  :)

WHAT IS A REAL RUNNER???? A runner is a runner, and that means anyone who runs at all (even if it is shuffling!)

You are beautiful, so who cares about running if it hurts?? Being beautiful is enough!!!! If you love biking, stick with that. But, I am wishing you luck on your run tomorrow---if that is what you want to be able to do every once in a while, I want it to work for you!
