confessions, surgery, and bike commuting
I started this little discussion on ‘moving’ about six weeks ago and the blog posts have been few and far between – my apologies. Then, by post #3, I realized I have confessions. Already. Blimey!!
Confession #1: my ‘wake up and go for a run‘ enthusiasm from the end of May was a little more short-lived than I wanted it to be, partly (mostly) because I was scheduled to have surgery yesterday to take out all the hardware in my ankle and would be out of commission for a while, and partly because I got addicted to riding my bike to work and it was a little tricky to do both with a school semester coming to a close.
Confession #2: in the blog link above, I was looking at doing the Boston half marathon in October. I’m now actually signed up to run one in Newburyport, MA with a group of friends – more social, less pressure, and honestly, a flatter course… I’ll need all the help I can get!
So, now we have that out of the way, my surgery went really well – I’m walking around already so fingers crossed running is not too far away. I have also been super-excited by the muscle mass bike commuting has added to my legs… I only need to do ~8 miles a day to get to the office but it’s making a world of difference, in addition to a few spin classes I manage to fit in at the gym. Hoping that this cross-training will help my running as I think I’ll be back on my bike before I’m back pounding the pavement!
How is your “moving” going??

Does the Boston halfie have the same qualifying requirements as the full?
I’m not exactly sure Bill, although I understand qualifying for the half is tough. I was going to go the charity route : )
