The closest I've come to running lately has been the elliptical machine. Not my favorite, but the lack of impact seems to be the only way I can keep my whole lower leg from hurting for the rest of the day. So Elliptical for 2 -3 miles or as long as I can take with numb toes (why does this happen?) or swimming. Thats pretty much all thats on tap for right now.
So sad, the total lack of running.
on the your-doing-it-wrong front: we're buying a house? potentially. After I went and dropped my whole house fund on paying off my car, something perfect came on the market and Mr. was all for it. So its moving forward and I am scrambling to scrape my pennies together to feel like I have enough in my buckets to cover closing costs and still have something that looks like (the shadow of) an emergency fund (because in my mind, having a house means having a much larger emergency fund--a house can = big emergencies, right? right).Its kind of terrifying.

still morning air
Still not running.
But! The last two mornings I've gotten up for sunrise and gone walking.
One of the biggest side effects / impacts of not running regularly (for me anyway) is the depth and quality of my sleep. I'm generally a pretty good sleeper if I'm running. If I'm stressed out or not getting enough exercise though, my body has a tendency to decide to wake up around 4. Sunrise right now is around 4:55 or so, so yesterday morning I got myself outside in time to see it, but it was cloudy. So today I tried again and got to see a very pretty sunrise, and some folks doing tai chi (I think? I am not actually 100% certain what they were doing, but something that could have been tai chi, slow moving and peaceful looking) and possibly a wedding...a lot of people all dressed up and standing in a gazebo in a park near my house all laughing and taking pictures of each other. Interesting early morning activities in my neighborhood, huh?
Today is solstice. I really like the idea, to get married at sunrise on solstice. It would certainly make people think twice about rsvp'ing yes, for sure, having to get up early early early that way.
My leg is still giving me random fits of achy pain, but nothing sharp. By the calendar (6 weeks!) I can try running at the end of this week...though we're supposed to go hiking this weekend, so perhaps I should wait for next week?
My mother thinks I should be taking all sorts of supplements to attempt to strengthen my bones (calcium and vitamin D got mentioned several times this week) probably she is right, but I have no interest in dropping $50-100 on things that might-possibly-but-not-definitely do something that has not been evaluated by the FDA*.
I am hoping I can continue to get up super early and go outside all of this week and make it sort of a habit, then once I can run again use the extra morning time to run some. I'd like to be one of those early morning runners again I think. In my non-running dreams anyway.
*okay, so mostly I don't have the $50-100 to spend on extraneous vitamins right now. I had to pay for car insurance last week and I need to get a stupid dress to go to a stupid wedding ( actually 3 weddings, hopefully only 1 dress) and buy presents for those to be wed as well. argh. The wedding season is upon us. Generally I like weddings, I think it is a cool thing, to celebrate people's love for one another. But I'm living with a guy who hates them rather vocally, and that makes it way less fun.

raise the sails or the roof?
Since I am not running currently, some other things:
* I'm getting a raise this year! It isn't much (1.5%) but its the first time in awhile. I'm excited to recalculate all of my various percentages and spending categories, because I am a geek like that.
* I bought a car--this was a while ago, and I don't think I mentioned it here because I totally did it wrong. I financed a fair chunk of it because I couldn't take my smelly old less-than-reliable beige crapmobile any longer, which was a stupid way to do things, looking back on it. So now I am playing catch up on that and obsessing over driving the balance down as fast as possible and paying as little interest as I can. Best case scenario I have it paid off by January, worst case is some time next summer. Other worst case is I play Glenda the Good Witch and drop my house fund on it to eradicate it and at the same time kill any chance of buying a house in the near future. I am still toying with that idea, it has its pluses (namely I could sing "ding dong the debt is dead" so much more quickly).
* I am watching Firefly again (via streaming netflix--its all there! love the streaming netflix!). Why aren't there more space westerns? It sounds ridiculous, but man, that show is so much better than you think it is going to be every time! trust me!
* I have two cats. In our new neighborhood / apartment (that isn't really new, we've been there almost a year) they get to go outside --they have a cat door and everything-- and one of them has been wandering into other houses in the neighborhood on a pretty regular basis to check out the kibble situation. She is just about the friendliest cat on the planet, but I really don't want her to re-home herself, so I've been trying to limit her outside time to when I am around. JLB thinks I am nuts and over-protective of my cats. He could be right, but when I'm not around I often get phone calls from folks who are hanging out with my cat inside their houses which is kind of embarrassing. She has no manners at all! She is just after their love / kibble!
*I calculated my net worth the other day for the first time in awhile, and even though I screwed up frugality-wise on the whole car deal, my net worth is positive! I know that isn't really a huge accomplishment compared to pretty much any PF blogger going, but it has taken me a long time to surpass the $30,000 + I (still! damn it!) have in student debt, so I was pleased as punch to see that I am no longer in the red. I've been out of school for six years, and nearly all of my debt is from my graduate program. I don't regret it exactly, my graduate degree has definitely helped me to have a "career" rather than just a "job" but sometimes I wonder what I could have done if I hadn't been saddled with so much debt at graduation.
It is a general dream/ goal/ ambition of mine to get to a place where I don't "need" a job, and having a smaller debt load could have made that happen faster. Or not, given the increased job prospects an advanced degree will get you.

liquid paper cucumbers
I think I have a stress fracture. That weird calf pain that has dogged me pretty much all year? Yeah, turns out it might not be muscle related at all.
I was talking to a friend who is a for real speedy (Boston Qualifying) runner and said something like "I think I might have shin splints but only in one leg? Does that happen?" and she (it should be mentioned she is also in nursing school. Important detail) poked and prodded my calf until she made me yell "ouch!" and pronounced that the pain was in the completely wrong place for shin splints.
So I went to see my Doctor and we talked it over and I am resting it to be on the safe side.
So I last ran four weeks ago.
Some people seem to think that running is tough. Let me tell you, not running is even tougher.

little but loud
I set out to run 13 miles on Wednesday morning. My route was a little tricky, sort of a stitching together of runs I have done while living in other neighborhoods in the city--its pretty much impossible to run that far and stay in my (new-ish) neighborhood, the ocean kind of blocks you in and you end up running in little circles. So instead I headed out and around and then came back into the neighborhood and had to do one last circle around (about 2 miles) to complete my very own half marathon and I reached the crossroads and said "screw it" and went home instead. I ran 11 miles and learned that I really can't count on myself on a cold February morning pre-breakfast to really want to hammer it home when I could instead just head up one last hill and make oatmeal.
Oh well. It was still a good run, and a nicely long run. And I did nothing at all on Tuesday (to prepare myself, or so I told myself anyway) and thought I might not do anything at all today either, but I went down to the gym to use a foam roller --man are those things good. SO GOOD. but in a way that might make you cry--and I ended up lifting a bit : and when I did my bench press I actually put some weight on the bar! I haven't done that since my freshman year of college I think. Hah. (clarification: I do a lot more with free weights than bars. I do. I am not a complete weakling I swear) I didn't put any weight on the bar I did squats with though, and some dude stole it from me before I could do my last set and put big ass weights on it. Oh well; and then I ran a piddly slow mile on the elliptical machine. I would have gone longer if there had been anything particularly mindless on the TV but it was some MTV "truelife" that sounded awful. So I did a mile and called it good.

debbie downer, meet ursula upper
As predicted, I didn't run the 10 mile race this weekend. I did, however, suck it up and get out the door and put in 9 miles on Saturday afternoon. And it was generally awesome. Sun was all shiny, traffic seemed light, and I averaged 9:10s over the whole thing!
I was shocked enough by that last part that I had to re-check my mileage (using the gmap pedometer) to make sure I hadn't cut some corner or something along the way. But nope. It was just a lot faster than it felt. Super sweet.
Sunday I went to the gym and lifted and then ran a relaxed (10 minute mile pace) two miles and called it good. We didn't watch the super bowl, but a couple of friends came over and brought some food (spinach dip and homemade ice cream sandwiches. These girls rock rock rock) and we hung out and watched a bad movie instead.
This week looks a little tricky as far as getting mileage in: classes and presentations cutting up my days and making getting the the gym more difficult. This weekend I am supposed to run a 5k with a friend--we signed up ages ago and I haven't really seen her since, which is nuts. But she is finishing up her MBA, so she doesn't have a whole lot of down time lately. So I know my last run of the week will be a 3 miler...I just need to get in another 17 or so to make myself happy. Oh! and I ran 2 yesterday, so call it 15. Piece of cake. Heh.

float your own boat
Hi!
A fair bit of running has occurred recently, most of it generally good. Today I did a (little, tiny) tempo run, mostly because I was afraid I was going to be late for a presentation...that I am currently being stood up for (the group just hasn't shown. I think they forgot about me). So I totally could have run longer. Which is frustrating. But in the end its alright, the tempo was sort of an experiment. I'd really like to get faster, usually when I run by myself I average 9 or 9:30 for a mile. Which is so comfortable, and totally fine, but I've been reading running blogs and there are lots and lots of runners out there who are totally comfortable at 8 or even 7:45 a mile for many many miles. Its inspiring and thought provoking. And winter (I think) is the perfect time to experiment, given that the 'ol treadmill will set the pace for you. Today I warmed up with a 10 minute mile then did an 8, a half mile at 8:27, a half mile back at 8 again and then the final mile at 8:40. There should have been a cool down mile after that, or maybe another interval of 8 and then a cool down, but I looked at the clock and got scared I would be late if I kept going, so I called it good and headed out.
This weekend is the 10 miler and I still haven't registered or anything. I am apathetic as hell about it. I did an 8 miler last weekend that went by pretty quickly--I managed a negative split for the out and back, which was cool. But I am not really sure I want to commit myself to doing 10 miles even if it is really cold (all this treadmill running has turned me into a wuss) - it is supposed to be in the mid 20s, which isn't bad. But isn't 40 degrees either. If I don't do it I'll probably go out and do another long run on my own anyway, but I won't have to drive (or pay) to do it.

lets say the bottom drops out
I haven't been running since last week: I planned a nice set of indoor activities for the weekend, swimming and yoga, since the highest temps were supposed to be around 8 degrees. And I tried water running on Saturday! I put on a little floaty belt and made a complete ass of myself huffing up and down a lane in the pool. It was fun, but it didn't really feel like a "work out" no sweat, no breathlessness, definitely no speed to speak of.
And on Sunday I woke up in total agony.
I've had this weird cramp in the middle of my right calf every once in awhile since this summer. I think it was caused by a gait change originally, and I haven't really given it the time or attention needed to fully get rid of it. So it is usually a little sore in the am and more so after a longer run. Something about the water running set it off in a big way and I was all a-hobble Sunday morning.
I called my mom (my go-to medical consultant) and she made me do a couple of stretches and tell her how the pain increased or receded to try and determine if it was a blood clot...it didn't react like a blood clot, so I took some Ibuprofin and laid around with my leg elevated for most of the day. I did a little light yoga in the afternoon, and then nothing at all yesterday, and today it is feeling mostly normal...
so I'm going to try a run tonight? I think?
I really don't want to hurt myself, but I really do want to be increasing my mileage so I can register for the 10miler this Friday.
Its always something, isn't it?

rattle dem bones
I ran a lovely outdoor 5 miler yesterday and am still slightly self satisfied about it. Granted 5 miles is not that long in the scheme of things ( 1/2 the distance I want to race in early February, just over 1/3 of a half marathon..et cetera and so forth) but it felt long because it was part of my work day, and it felt good because I checked the weather and it is supposed to be bone chillingly cold all weekend so running outside might not be in the cards for the next couple of days. Running probably will be though, just more of the treadmill variety.

studiousness
Back at work today and just an hour left to go. I am glad, mostly, to be back at work. The structure of the work day really helps me out, being on vacation without any set plans meant I spent (or perhaps misspent) a lot of time thinking about what I should be doing but not actually doing it. Today I went down to the gym and ran 3 treadmill miles around 11:30 and then came back and had lunch and have been cleaning up in my office ever since. A good day. Oh and I just paid my credit card bill. I am so embarrassed to even have one: I saved money for christmas and was determined to get through the gift giving season without carrying around plastic debt but it snuck up on me: all of it spending on non-christmas items (groceries, gas, drinks, more groceries) to the tune of $300. Plus $40 I spent on a tutu in a fit of please-like-me-ness that I don't really want to talk about(I saw it on the statement and was all frustrated all over again with myself. Sometimes I want way to badly to be liked. And tutus are not going to help. And I know this, and yet...). So I never carry a balance, and was kind of flustered by the fact that my due date for payment was today, and I had a balance, and it said there was no payment due --I think because I last paid in mid-December, though I don't admit to entirely understanding, so because of that I paid the balance in full today from my E-Fund, in a little mini panic about possibly screwing up my credit score by missing a payment. That is an emergency, right? The panic more than the actual $340 I mean. I have the E-Fund so that if something bad happens I have money to help, so I'm totally counting this as an emergency (small "e" though). I think I'll pay it back into my E-Fund with my next paycheck most likely, but hooboy that was a tense minute there.
02 January 2010
year in, year out
I ran a little over 500 miles in 2009. I'm pretty pleased with that, but I wanted to run 20 miles this past week ( I was on vacation) and ended up running only 14. As with any winter running, it was complicated by the weather--really cold to start the week off, and now we're in the middle of a multi-day snow storm. Not ideal running conditions. I am still kicking myself for not running long and outdoors on Monday when it was in the 40s. If I'd done seven or eight miles then I probably could have made my goal for the week despite the weather--but I ran eight miles on Saturday, so shorter seemed better at that point.
I would like to run more in 2010--my weekly average for 2009 was around 10 miles a week, which is kind of weak. I'd like to run enough this coming year to bring my average mileage per week up over 15.
2009 was a good year all in all. And hopefully 2010 will be even better once it gets going. I am working on revising my savings plans in the new year--my goals are rather broad and as a result I feel like (a) I am not saving enough and (b) I am always broke and (c) like any goal I have I am unlikely to ever reach. I've been doing the steady-as-she-goes little bits of money into lots of different plans approach, and am feeling frustrated and stymied and (did I mention?) broke at the moment. But on the upside, I have an e-fund, a "small e" fund, travel fund, house fund and Roth IRA in addition to my company retirement plan. So its okay, its just that I am really questioning trying to continue to grow them all at once, and at the same time having trouble deciding which ones to put aside. Way back when I had very little money I would do one-lump sum kind of things, so that every three months or so each of my funds got a semi-sizable infusion of cash. With the increase in my paycheck when i changed jobs I realized that I could fund everything steadily at a lower level, and I've been doing that for awhile. This year has been hard only because my living expenses have increased but I have been trying to keep my savings rate the same. I do realize its not the best idea, but I am uncomfortable with the thought of saving less.
I managed to spend less than $100 this whole week I've been on vacation, which has been great, but I know come Monday I am going to have to do things like put gas in my car to get to work, and it kind of sucks to worry about those kind of recurring expenses. I'll let you know if / when I figure it out.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
