self-rehab

Tonite I am gearing up for my first "WALK" in many moons. As of Thurs. March 9th, I am officially castless and sporting my "PIMA BOOT". I am actually supposed to be still using my crutches, but I have developed an "ILL use em when they dont get in my way" attitude. For realz, you have no idea how hard it is to get around, and simply exist in this world without the use of one leg. Now, add into the mix a healthy 30 lb. or so 22 month old and see how the fun begins. Anywho, I have another appointment next Friday to asses my poor toe and see whether I'm still gonna be a slave to my boot. I have been taking calcium pills like a mutha in the vain hope that this will speed up the healing process. I am SO DYING TO RUN.

I am SO DYING TO BE INDEPENDENT AGAIN.

I was actually so Happy last Thurs when :THEY: gave the ok to get rid of the cast, but then anger followed at the prospect of being tied to this boot for another 2 weeks!

So Im saying screw them and doing my own rehabilitation. I cant help it peepz..I need to move.

Another thing that bummed me out was reading in my now pointless "RUNNERS WORLD", that it takes 2 weeks to get back every week lost to inactivity. So far, I have 12 weeks in my future to get back into the strength that I once was. Aww man, looks like the San Diego Marathon is a distant future memory.., but I am going to run the Disneyland Inaugural Half Marathon in Sept. I believe that I will be able to kick ass and take names there. MY goal for they halfer is to finish under 2:03.

I will be back.
