Well said Christy! You have a wonderful attitude and a great plan to build your base up and be able to work on speed again. Praying that you will heal quickly!

Great attitude Christy! Keep it up. It seems like with this running break you are getting stronger in so many other ways! I am glad you are seeing the good in it!

I like that you amended your goal! You will be back faster than ever. That is one of the good things that comes out of any injury. We come back more determined than ever.

I have finally gone back to a true base building and I can already tell my body is responding to it. I am doing weekly running drills too... like the caroke (sp?!), quick feet, skips, strides, butt kickers, high knees

I love early morning runs, too! I'm so glad yo...

Keep up the great attitude! it will take time but I think in the end your body will thank you for all the care and patience!

Sometimes amending our goals is the best thing for us. I am happy to hear that you are able to run a little. That is great news! I am sure Cola loved his morning run and your kids are enjoying extra time with you.

A quad injury requires so much patience- you have a great attitude. You'll get that pr soon!

2013-06-19T13:39:15.908-06:00

Glad your embracing it to. I know how hard it can be. As runners we tend to push ourselves to fast to recovery. I love the hiking with your family. I would love it my family would go hiking.

I need to start doing some speed drills. I feel like I’ve plateaued and really need to push past that.
Good luck with the quad!

You are right - there is an upside to not running, that we tend to ignore. I think my body enjoyed the first week's rest, I've had more time for other things, and it has been nice to stay inside instead of go out in wintry cold! Still - I'd rather be running! But it's important to think long term rather than short term. Get better soon!

Love that you got out for an early morning run - I...

Love that you got out for an early morning run - I love that time of the day!! You are incredibly fit - nice photos!!

2013-06-19T12:17:12.841-06:00

I know this stinks right now but you are doing the right thing and will be rewarded in the end!! Your attitude is a breath of fresh air and very inspiring!! Keep up the good work! You'll get those PR's when you are ready!

2013-06-19T11:39:29.873-06:00

I think it's perfectly acceptable to amend goals rather than have them set in stone. I haven't done drills in ages. I sort of like hill repeats b/c they're over with fast.

Smart, smart, smart! I love that you are slow to ...

2013-06-19T11:32:06.394-06:00

Smart, smart, smart! I love that you are slow to return and build a solid base. Too many runners try to come back too quick and make things worse. I admire your perseverance and you goal modifications!

2013-06-19T11:11:19.463-06:00

I have been on the injured list before and it is no easy feat. You're smart to listen to your body and amend your goals. You'll kick butt and the reward will be even greater! You have a great attitude.

2013-06-19T11:02:52.104-06:00

I can't imagine being injured (knock on wood), and you're attitude and dedication throughout this period has been amazing and amazingly beautiful. I'm sure that 10K PR will be even sweeter when you get it.

2013-06-19T10:40:59.895-06:00

I know it's so hard to get through an injury, but looks like you are learning to embrace it :)

I have being feeling much the same way - my 2013 goal was better, faster, stronger....all that came to a stop when I broke my wrist :(

But last weekend I was able to go out to breakfast with my best friend, and I thought what a luxury. I would never normally get to go to breakfast because it would interfere with my training. Sometimes I guess, it's ok to just get a break, whether you really wanted one or not.

I've been amending my goals like crazy. But no...

2013-06-19T10:39:19.996-06:00

I've been amending my goals like crazy. But now that I'm slowly getting back to running, it's really fun because Bungee can come for most of my runs that are short and slow. Since I don't have any real running buddies in town, it's great to have her around.

I'm glad you're getting better!!

I am so happy for you that you are staying strong ...

2013-06-19T10:30:05.814-06:00

I am so happy for you that you are staying strong throughout this healing process and doing what is BEST for you and your body. Cheers and hugs to Cola today, too.

2013-06-19T09:34:14.306-06:00

That's the best way to do it, amend your goal. You're doing it smart!
