Running Accomplishments:

I started running when I moved to Oregon in 2008.  When I first started, I couldn't even run to the end of my block!  I made it my goal to just run a little bit further each time.  Not too much time went by before I realized how much I loved the sport of running.  I signed up for my first 5k in April 2009. I have loved watching my speed and distance increase as the years have gone by.

9:30 pace.  Running partner couldn't go this morning so my hubby joined me on his bike.  What a sweet man to get up at 4:30 to follow his wife around the loop.  Feelin the love.  :-)

Felt a bit sluggish today and the right leg hurt quite a bit today.  But oh so happy to have my run in today.  Vein is being injected with sodium chloride on Tuesday---it is supposed to be quite painful and put me out of running for a while.  :-(  Hoping it is a long term fix to this stupid varicose vein issue I have dealt with for years.  It is a long shot but an option to try before just taking the vein out.  Say some prayers that it will work and not be too painful. 

I just wanna run with no leg pain.....is that too much to ask??!

First run in 10 days.  The dr. restricted me to walking only for 2 weeks.  He had me go for a "test run" after 10 days to see how the leg felt.  Sadly, it hurt quite a bit and was oh-so achy last night.  Not sure what to do next......

*SIGH*  Another "test" run that was a bust.  Attempting to run 3 miles....just 3 miles.  Made it 1.5 and had to stop and walk because of the pain the leg.  Ran another .75 and was walking home by the end.  The leg is just not happy.  Dr. follow up tomorrow morning....
