Ready to Run...

Thank you Ainsley Seago!  What a gift!
If you need art done, I'll pass on her contact info!

My neurosurgeon recommended I wait 3 months after the accident before I start running again.  This week my orthopedic doctor told me I could go as soon as the neurosurgeon permitted - despite the fact that I still have at least one broken rib.  I guess running doesn't mess with your ribs, and honestly, my three broken ribs were the easiest of my problems.  I didn't even know I had them until I was finally checked out of the hospital in Buenos Aires.  Sweet Deal!

My feet are ready to R-U-N (OK - maybe jog or trot), and hopefully the rest of my body will get there too.






My new Brooks running shoes arrived... Man, I love Brooks running shoes.  I was cuddling that Seattle box with my size ten Cascadia kicks the day it arrived.  My current Brooks are still in descent shape, despite being hit by a car.   I threw out my previous pair the morning we left Seattle, so my current pair was new when we arrived Argentina on September 12th.  Up to the accident they logged 536 running miles and since the accident, they have been my daily walking shoes.  They are showing signs of wear, and when I have my first day out again, I want to pamper my feet with the joy of new shoes.

After chatting with my sweet cousin Lili and listening to her playful threats of buying me head to toe reflective gear, I went on-line and bought my own bright and light paraphernalia.  I am regretting the decision I made in Seattle to leave my regular reflective vest behind.  I wore it daily on my bike and on my runs.  It was my uniform.  What was I thinking?!?!  Kick in the pants!!!  Dumbest thing ever!!!
