Today’s Run: \u00a070 min solid on those silly crutches<\/p>\n
Seven days…isn’t that how the movie goes?<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Well, seven days times two. \u00a0That equals 14 days but there is not a movie phone call that says 14 days so we will just practice our multiplication tables a bit today. \u00a0 \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So, what is in seven days times two? \u00a0That is when I should be able to begin running again!<\/p>\n<p>Not that I am one to count or be OCD or anything, but this is encouraging to me! I have been a very, very good girl and have been using my crutches religiously. \u00a0If you knew me, you would be astounded at how good I have been. \u00a0I am one to push the envelope a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I am highly motivated to get back on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Walking with crutches takes an inordinate amount of energy and by evening I am as tired as I am after a long run day! \u00a0It is grueling!<\/p>\n<p>I will say that this has given me a new perspective on things, things that we all take for granted. \u00a0Carrying my purse. \u00a0Carrying ANYTHING! \u00a0Opening doors. \u00a0Shopping. \u00a0Cooking. \u00a0Loading the dishwasher. \u00a0Running the sweeper…the list goes on and on!<\/p>\n<p>Next time you grab the mail or go to put the dog out, think about what it would be like to not be able to use your hands because they are holding the crutches that are holding you up. \u00a0This has been a real eye opener for me for people who deal with this their entire lives. \u00a0I will not be taking these things for granted, that is for sure!<\/p>\n<p>Enough of that, though. \u00a0I have been extremely fortunate that MFH (My Favorite Husband) has been a HUGE help. \u00a0I have not been able to care for my chickens. \u00a0Each morning he has trudged out to the yard for me, broken the ice for the chickens with a hammer, fed the chickens, relocated the chickens, done all of the things for them that I usually do. \u00a0He has helped around the house as much as possible along with doing his own job! \u00a0He is a keeper, he is!<\/p>\n<p>This has been a bummer but a good learning experience for me. \u00a0I guess you could call it a Win-Win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today’s Run: \u00a070 min solid on those silly crutches Seven days…isn’t that how the movie goes?
