Achilles Surgery is Scheduled

February 6, 2010

Finally, surgery is a go! After a week and a half of waiting, my insurance company approved the TOPAZ surgery for my achilles tendinosis. My doctor warned me that sometimes insurance won’t cover it, so we’ve been in complete limbo waiting for their decision. If they weren’t going to cover TOPAZ, I would be discussing [...]

Ding Dong – December is Over!

January 3, 2010

Since December is over, the dust is finally settling. I work for an online gift retailer and we’re so busy for Christmas, the entire month of December is always a blur. We’re a multi-million dollar “small” company, which means we’re “all hands on deck” for our busiest holidays. Regardless of our positions with the company, [...]

Update

December 7, 2009

I know, I know, I haven’t posted for a while. I am finding it hard to be a mother runner when I am not actually allowed to run right now. I haven’t run in about a month and a half and the achilles is still hassling me. It hurts, and it hurts a lot when [...]

This Too Shall Pass

November 12, 2009

I have been looking forward to running this weekend. I think that’s probably an understatement. I haven’t run since the Girlfriends Half Marathon on October 18th so I’m more than itching to get out there. The day after the half marathon, my podiatrist told me not to run for 4 weeks. I have been obedient [...]

10 Things To Do While Injured and Not Running

October 25, 2009

1. Elliptical – My podiatrist likes to say, “let pain be your guide.” I was surprised when my achilles was hurting after walking a couple of miles this weekend so I’m not sure about the elliptical. I’ll give it a shot and if it hurts, stop. Duh.
2. Bike – I am missing the gene that [...]

No Running (For Now)

October 20, 2009

I completed the Girlfriends Half Marathon on Sunday and had my follow up appointment with my podiatrist on Monday. The verdict is in – No running for 2-4 weeks. I can try a light run at 2 weeks, but if there is any pain in my achilles, no running for another 2 weeks. If there [...]

Running a Half Marathon With a Bum Achilles

October 17, 2009

Today is the day. After having saint like patience (maybe a little bit of an exaggeration) for the last week and a half, I finally ran this morning. This is D-Day – Decision Day – to determine if my achilles will cooperate for the half marathon tomorrow.
After an “easy” 3-mile run this morning, I’ve decided [...]

To Run or Not to Run

October 12, 2009

After running 11 miles with some serious pain in my achilles, I am having to take it easy and see how I feel for the upcoming half marathon I’ve been training for. I had a physical therapy appointment on Friday, right before heading out of town for the weekend. I think I surprised my physical [...]

Gimpy Run

June 13, 2009

Today’s run was the kind of run I would rather not have, EVER! My running group was meeting up with our Portland counterparts and I was really looking forward to the change of scenery. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize the entire run was going to be hills. Plus, my podiatrist gave me the ok to run [...]
