Picked up my bro and Julie and met Teena, Smooth, Nancy, Josh and a few others. We ran on the JRP. It was a blast. I love these ladies (and dudes). It was a comfortable pace. We really picked it up the last 6 miles. Actually felt really great, especially considering how crappy I felt yesterday. AP 8:58

Ummm, I think your okay to say pissed if you need to. I know that's how I felt with my leg this spring. It kind of makes you grateful to be able to do things though.

I am wallowing in self pity right now, but I will get over it. I am more upset with the weight I have gained in two weeks than I am with not being able to run, but it is all related.

Injuries suck, but this to shall pass!!!!

From Shimelle on Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 13:54:53 from 75.162.225.27

Believe me, I know! I gained so much weight while I was injured. It sucks. Hang in there and try to get better.

From Kelli on Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 13:56:15 from 71.219.89.21

I know, I know....

I will be fine soon and back running with you guys. Until then, I can read about all of your fabulous running!!!

Look back at my blog during my injury. I stayed away because: 1-I wanted to run SOOOO bad and 2-It started to make me depressed (literally). Injuries are tough dangit but you'll get there. Missed ya though.

From Kelli on Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 14:00:58 from 71.219.89.21

I am blaming the depression on PMS. Maybe I should blame the weight gain on that, too?!?

From Shimelle on Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 14:06:43 from 75.162.225.27

That's for sure! I don't know about you but I eat like a horse while I'm PMSing and always gain a couple pounds and then lose it and then gain it and then lose it.........

Sucks to be a woman!

Nice job this morning Michelle! I'm glad you're feeling better from yesterday. I'm just nodding my head reading all of your and Kelli's comments - Stinky women!! :)

Trying to figure out whether to respond to your blog entry or the following commentary.

Okay:

Blog entry: YOU are incredible my friend!!! You looked as if you hadn't raced at all yesterday!! Now that is strength!! Nice job.

Commentary: Not quite sure what to say other than injuries are so tough to deal with. At least for me. Hang in there Kelli. :)

From Smooth on Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 14:00:06 from 71.35.210.4

Michelle,

THANKS for running with me yesterday. It was so fun hanging with you and your brother. You are such a great friend to so many. I'm glad I got to know you. Wish I could run as beautiful as you.

Kelli,

So so so so sorry about the injury and PMSing. Xtraining will help (though I don't know how to do any). You are strong and will overcome this road block.
