2.6 mile walk this morning. Kinda over did it with the toe. It swelled up like a balloon afterwards, so I spent the afternoon in the recliner. UGH.

Maybe tomorrow I'll cut it back to 2 miles.

Tuesday, 2.2 mile walk with two little efforts at jogging mixed in .. UGH .. the foot did not like that !

But I did the walking route 20 minutes faster than I did it last Saturday, so I'm pretty happy. Just wish I could run.

Oh well, I guess I'm making slow progress.

2.2 mile walk/jog this morning. Wow, its actually beginning to cool down a little these days. Perhaps there's hope!

I ran a couple of times, gingerly, but persistently. I probably went maybe 1/4 mile running very slowly. Pretty painful, but so it goes. I'm DETERMINED!!! Shockin' ain't it?!

Another 5 miles in.

Nice work Betty. I'm assuming you have DOCTOR'S APPROVAL to start running.....

Nice work Betty. I'm assuming you have DOCTOR'S APPROVAL to start running.....

NOPE. Didn't even ask.

Oh come on, like YOU would wait for a doctor to tell you to run? You know how it is, Mr. Marathon Man ...

I have the feeling the doc knew I wouldn't listen to his advice. He knows me all too well. Plus he's a runner himself .... HE KNOWS.

Re: Cool Running for Week of September 15th

No run today. Foot has been swelling BADLY for the past 2 days after I walk.

Today we went to Sea World in Orlando and DH took the wheelchair. He threatened great bodily harm (J/K) if I tried to walk.

Doc has postponed my return to work a couple more weeks. He's concerned about all the swelling and pain I'm having from trying to walk. Not sure the EMPLOYER will be thrilled with that, but what's a girl to do?

Tomorrow I hope to try and walk at least one mile. We shall see.
