Longest Run Post Injury!! (video)

I’m home sick today… read BORED… so I’ve been working on improving my blog while having a Bachelor marathon…

I DVRd all of the episodes but haven’t been able to watch them until now… you may or may not be seeing a lot of blogging from me today ;) Be prepared to become best buds lol! 

This is from Tuesday night!!  I’m so excited!!! After being injured, this is the highlight of my week! My longest run post injury!
(I have no idea what happened with the quality of this video… sorry for the weird pauses)

I ended up running 1.60 miles in 19:45min (11:52 pace)… I miss my faster pace, but if I want to heal up and get back to running as much as I was before, I gotta take it SLLLOOOOWWWWW…
I’m happy to report there is ZERO knee pain going on up in here after this run!! :)

Have you ever come back from an injury?
How did you cope?
Do you watch The Bachelor? What do you think of this season?

 

Calm Down! It’s Just An Inversion! (Video)

Ok… you may have noticed a little yoga on this blog… you may be like… “WAIT…I thought this was a running blog?!!”  Calm down!!! It is a running blog… except for this chica hasn’t been running because of a knee injury so I decided adding a little spice to my life with yoga couldn’t hurt anything!
If yoga just isn’t your thing, then you can X out of this blog post… or stay whatever… just know that I know and keep track of who doesn’t read my blog posts word for word! ;)
OK… totally kidding… or am i? ;)

Anyways… This week is going to be yoga week on my blog… and if yoga truly isn’t your thing you may just want to stick around because you might change your mind after this week is over… pending I have some free time to blog! ;) 

In the meantime… you can enjoy a little video of me playing around with a supported headstand inversion!  At the end I try to go from a headstand to crow pose and failed big time! lol… Enjoy!!

 

Do you do yoga?
How long have you done it?
     - 4 weeks ;)  Beginner Yogi here! ;)
If you don’t do yoga, do you think you might try it one day?

Everybody Do the Splits!!! (Video)

If you missed it, or just started following my blog… I’m a lame-o… well my knee anyways ;)  If you want to read/watch about it you can click here… or you can just take my word for it that I haven’t been able to run due to an injured knee ;)

So instead of running and taking life too seriously, I started goofing off a little more ;)  (or trying out yoga that is!)  I joined an Instagram Yoga challenge (I’ll blog more about it when I get the chance.. with a CRAPton of Pictures, totes promise!) and one day the pose was the Splits.  I’m extremely not very flexible as you will see.. so I tried a different pose that could somewhat pass as doing a split! ;) Enjoy…

 

Wordless Wednesday: Baking Brookies (Video)

*I took this in instagram but it unexpectedly shut down on me so I decided to upload this to YouTube instead… Enjoy!

 

I Ate An Ice Cream Sandwich for Breakfast (VLOG)

I completely ate an Ice Cream Sandwich for Breakfast… well, my “2nd breakfast” I had already eaten breakfast about 2 hours before hand…Don’t judge me!  It was delicious!!  Ice cream is my favorite and I’ve gotten TONS better at not eating it straight out of the tub for breakfast! ;)

 

__________________________________________

I know most of you are completely over me talking about my knee pain but it’s affecting my life in a big way right now…  Here are some posts from a year ago when I started getting the pain in my knee: 4/13/12,  4/18/12,  4/22/12,  5/4/12
Before you watch the vlog, I apologize for saying “anyways” and “so”  WAY too much!!  I think I was just nervous y’all wouldn’t like me or something ;)  Don’t hate me cuz you ain’t me! ;)  tehe!

Here’s a great article from Runner’s World that resonates with my injury… Who knows, it could just be Runner’s Knee… but for some reason I was thinking the pain related to that would be more like the actual knee or just under it for some reason…Hopefully balancing the muscles in my legs (quads especially) and working on my hips will solve this problem! :)

Have you ever had a knee injury?  What’d you do to get better?
Have you ever eaten ice cream for breakfast?  Be honest! ;)
Any of you racing this weekend??  Which race?  Good luck!!
