Still recovering from the nail to the foot...

Figured I would post some pics since I NEVER travel :)

After meetings in Chicago, then off to the airport to...

San Francisco! We finished up a meeting in Santa Rosa and hit some wineries in Sonoma. Here is one from Rodney Strong. I went a little overboard and ordered two cases of their Reserve vintage- they are shipping it home for me! :)

Next week I am off to Toronto for a day or two, week after is Cabo, then L.A.!

I am already committing to the Kiawah Half in December, should be able to run by then, right?

Happy trails!

Update

Reasons I have not blogged include but are not limited to: selling my car privately and showing it to a lot of tire kickers, buying another car, having fun with friends, and stepping on a nail that went deep into my foot.

That last one really, really, really sucks.

Luckily, it is my right foot... not the one with the plantar issue. Right when I am starting to get back into the groove of things, this happens. Not sure when I will run again as I cannot even walk.

Awesome.

Off to Chicago!

Will be working... and catching the White Sox play the Indians tonight. Woohoo!

Tomorrow morning's run?

No, not my boring old neighborhood... Central Park! (oh yeah, I am in New York thru Friday for work)

Next week? Chicago! The running shoes are definitely coming out to play... my fav route is a quick jaunt from my home base, The Palmer House Hilton.

Happy trails to all!

Calm...relaxed...

I tried yoga for the first time tonight. I felt so calm and relaxed- with the exception of almost getting stuck permanently in warrior pose.

Does it get easier?

Back at it?

Two miles again this morning. 24:12. Ran with a little bit of walking (run 3, walk 1 and so on...) Not where I would want to be... but it's a start again! Feels pretty good too- maybe all the hundreds of dollars I spent at the podiatrist actually helped my plantar facsdfjsddfjskfdjskkf? And thankfully, the 18 stitches in my side that kept me sidelined are finally healing too.

I am looking forward to running the entire time and adding some more mileage.

Full steam ahead!

Why I did not run tonight...

Tornadoes. Seriously, there are funnel clouds all around my neighborhood. Therefore, running might not be the best idea as we don't have many ditches here in super-flat Charleston.

I will resort to working out inside and I WILL run tomorrow morning. I WILL.

It's a start.

I ran/walked two miles today. Yeaaaah. That is about where I am right now. It took me 26 minutes. I have a waaaay to go.

Arapahoe Basin? Check.

What a fun day of skiing!! 13,000 foot altitude kinda gets to me though.

I know- I am a wimp!

Ummm...huh-ello?!?!?!

Dear Chicago Marathon,

Uh, let me remind you... Chicago Marathon... that just because you changed your name to "Bank of America Chicago Marathon" from LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon, I still do not forget, nor forgive you, for pissing me off last year. You still totally sucked and I kinda hate you. However, I kinda also considered signing up for you again when you showed up in my Inbox this week reminding me that you are almost full. But then if you suck again this year- what is next? "The Marathon Formerly Known as The Chicago Marathon"?

All for now,

Tiff
