A day when I crossed an item off my bucket list.
And fulfilled a lifelong goal.
You see, this summer I put three things on my list of things to do before the end of the year:
- Run a 1/2 marathon
- Find a publisher for my book
- (This one shall remain a mystery)
And then, my left foot decided it was done. Big time. It refused to run. In fact, it didn't even want to walk. I was hopeful that it would only be a week or two before it was better and then I could return to training. But it wasn't so.
It was back to the boot for several weeks. And after several weeks I moved on to KT Tape (a LIFESAVER by the way!) And now, 6 weeks later, I am finally walking without any pain. Though running is still out of the question.
*sigh*
Seriously, the most expensive shirt I have ever purchased in my life. Wish I had the race to go along with it!
I wish I was running right now. Maybe next year.
Thanks for letting me complain.

I'm sorry! :( I've been thinking about you... Let's get together soon!! (Like... next week???)
Katie, I am so sorry. Disappointments are hard. It's one thing to be sad because you didn't do well in a race, but harder if you didn't even get to try. I'm sorry. Now I must comment on something else: You wrote a book! I had no idea. (If you need anyone to proof read it before you find your publisher, please pick me!) I've missed your blog and will now try to start keeping up better. Maybe we should start baking together again. Let me know when you are free!
I can feel your pain, I can't tell you how many triathlons, and 5ks I have signed up for, started training for and something happens. I was almost done training for a triathlon, when I got pregnant with Kale. I decided I would still try, but then.... my body had other things in mind, and after running at the gym one night, I spotted. afraid of miscarrying, I stopped.
oh the stories I could tell you of other"almosts". So sad, and disappointing. We should get together and talk about them. :)
Also I am curious as to what kind of camera you have. I have been looking into getting one for christmas, I want one that will take excellent pictures but not cost me an arm and a leg. Ya know? any advice would be great.
I feel like I am always asking advice from you...sorry. :0)
you just seem to do a lot of things that I am thinking about doing before I do them, and so I need some advice. A LOT.
oh wise Katie.tell me. what to do...
So sorry! :( What a bummer. And - it's okay to complain....that what all your friends are for.
KT tape? They names a tape after you? :) I am sorry that you didn't get to run your race today, that's hard. :( I'm glad you're scheduling new things to look forward to, you crazy person you!
Katie, sorry to hear you missed your race! That is very exciting that you wrote a book I had no idea! I am curious though about #3are you not goin to share? :)
