The Runner Within

Update

posted in Surgery, Personal |

Well, I’m sorry I haven’t written lately. I had a very dramatic week with finals and some personal turmoil. I will recover (from the finals, at least). So, I am going into surgery bright and early Tuesday morning, so I will not be posting, probably for a few days minimum… I think there’s some kind of “no typing” rule for a bit at least. I’m sad that I won’t be able to resume my training until the end of May, but tearing a stitch would be a bad idea. It’s all part of a process, though, and hopefully this will be the final step, and I won’t have to go through this again. I have all sorts of great running reading material to get me through the next couple of weeks, and then school will be starting up again, and then I’ll be running and training before I know it. I have to start searching for a race in FL during the summer. I’m registered for a 10k in October, but I want to run a race before then, at least a 5k. I might be able to do another 10k earlier, because I’m sure I’ll be back up to speed fairly quick in June (crosses fingers), but I haven’t found one I’m particularly interested in yet.

My trainer is also supposed to be teaching a summer class on personal training, and hopfully I can attend that. I think the knowledge will be extremely beneficial for the future. Also, I am considering joining an intramural indoor soccer team through my school and looking for some sort of martial art to take up. So, I’m sure that I’ll be fit and exhausted in no time. :) I will have to keep myself busy, or I’ll just wallow, and that’s no good!

    Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow!

    I noticed you are running RFTT in October. I’m not sure if you knew that there is another Disney Race at the end of October? It is the inaugural Tower of Terror 13K on October 27. Thought I would mention it in case it interests you.

    All the best for your recovery.

    Thanks for the comments. I’m hoping the surgery goes well, so I will be getting to sleep soon so that I’m well-rested.

    Also, I was aware of the Tower of Terror race, but it probably coincides with the annual Halloween party that some of my friends throw, so I will have to wait until the date gets closer to decide if I can run in that one or not. Thanks though!

    Good luck with your surgery, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. The best thing is that your body will be fresh and ready to go when you resume your training.

    ** I’m sorry, but I don’t want to advertise for religious sites on here, so I’m keeping part of your comment, but I am editing out the links to religious sites. Thanks! **

    Just to let you know, Faithful Soles is not a religious web site. The idea for the name basically came from the fact that runners are very faithful to their sport, and the word “soles” was meant as a play on words related to of course, feet. The site is simply about inspiring walkers, runner and mutli-sport athletes of all ages and abilities. I am a Christian, no denying that, but the focus of the site is not about religion at all. I hope this helps to clarify. Thanks again.
