Has it been 4 or 5 weeks? I’ve lost count but it seems like forever. Well, at least forever without running. Or physical activity. Or shoes for that matter. I haven’t been able to wear shoes and I miss shoes – I’ve been living in flip-flops and as much as I love flip-flops, they can only take you so far. Stupid stress fracture.
Honestly, I’ve discovered I really don’t enjoy any other forms of exercise other than running and lifting weights. I started lifting weights last week and it’s been enjoyable; I have that nice, lingering soreness in my arms, legs and abs. I can’t believe I’ve missed that kind of pain.
I’ve kept busy by working in the yard, training Cherry, organizing the cupboard, teaching Rowdy to swim and cleaning the pool. We’ve never had a pool before and if you can get past all the maintenance and cleaning it requires, it’s so much fun. Rowdy doesn’t think so, though. If it’s not a soft blanket or a nice bottle of wine, Rowdy pretty much hates the world.
So there you have it, Stationary Susan’s boring life. Mock me, I give you permission.
I envy you. Boring sounds great! Really. And I hear you on the pool – so much work but when it’s really hot out it’s so very handy.
Hey Susan,
have been thinking about you- now’s your chance to try the frankenstein workout! :))
At least you will be super buff when you do get back to running!
Sending you fun vibes. Somehow I can’t believe that stationary susan’s life is any less exciting than runner susan’s life. It’s just different!
hey lady…i’m with you on the no running thing. I hate all other exercises and thus I am left just bitching about not being able to do the one thing I want to do 🙁 Stupid achilles on my end, stress fracture on yours.
When one door closes…. I know what you mean, as much as I love to lift it doesn’t compare. Hey, how about lifting outdoors?
Oooooo…loving the red boots!
Flip flops? Really? Is that good for the injury? My podiatrist would have a cow.
Your boring life sounds idyllic (except the not running bit). Love the eyes on ‘we look nothing alike’.
Striking header – looks like you’re on the move (even if out of season) 🙂
A swimming pool is delicious, only it is not hot and nice whether in the Netherlands enjoys living. Groet Rinus.
I should start running just to taunt you!! hehe
Did you heat your pool up? Mine is still frigid!
seems everyone has spots but you.
rowdy will learn to love the pool the way i learned to love doing laundry.
I have been fortunate to avoid any major injuries, but I know this…I don’t need to have one to know that running is also my preferred workout method.
