So basically next week, Tuesday to be exact, I'll be starting from scratch again. . .hopefully. Assuming I get the doc's green light, I'll hit the elliptical and indoor bike and be on my way to starting my training back over. Hopefully two weeks after that I can hit the treadmill and work back up to running. There is a lot of hope included in these next few weeks. I hope it works out as planned.

Starting From Scratch
As if this whole bright idea of trying to run a half marathon next March weren't already difficult and high reaching enough. I have now managed to sprain my ankle. I was on crutches for a week and am now limping around with an air cast and ace bandage in flip-flops nonetheless. Certainly not fabulous and definitely not Manolo worthy. The good news is that I was actually running when it happened and was actually excited and feeling great because I had actually managed to run most of the distance we had covered before my unfortunate tumble. Seriously, anything over a full size larger is a hazard to run in. Anytime you leave a drag mark from your toe in the ground behind you after a fall is a tell tell sign. But I digress. I digress because I'm frustrated because I can't do anything. But i'm still motivated and optimistic. . .today.

Try the Hal Higdon half training. I'm trianing for my first using it.
Welcome to the Complete Running Network Family. You'll find plenty of people dropping by just to say hello.
Don't run on the ankle. Let yourself heal - you've plenty of time to get to the start line healthy.
Thanks Ms. V. I'll look into that when i'm up and at em again. Hi Greg on the run, Thanks for stopping by and the encouragement! I'm trying to be patient and go slowly so I won't end up injured again.
