Hi, I'm Dina and I'm Running

[Dina Monster]

And then......I went to Physical Therapy today and they told me I have tendinitis in both of my ankles. So no running for two weeks and I begin physical therapy for 3 weeks and then I will begin a running program. To reprogram my running.....>_< I did 2 miles on the Elliptical today.

Thanks Nat, it stinks but what can I do? It's out of my realm of influence so I just have to suck it up.

I ended up doing Zumba today because I was to lazy to do anything else. I think I'm going down because I can't really run and I have to be careful now. I think I might do Yoga on Sunday. We have this push up and sit up contest going on at work which is totally cool. I have done 114 push ups in 2 days and I've done 100 sit ups. Hopefully it will help me improve on my fitness tests. I want to do 200 hundred in one sitting someday.

What do you mean by this? I hope your not getting depressed about it, although I can see how that would happen. Your body seems very strong so I'm sure it will heal and you can get back to your normal activity.

Stay strong!!!

I think it's bothering me because I really want to run and I just simply can't. I know I need to follow the doctors orders. But it stinks. PT starts next week so hopefully that will brighten me up some.

I did Turbo yesterday and then Belly Dance shortly after that. Both were pretty hard work outs. Made me feel a little better about not running. It made me take a step back and make sure I don't enter races unless I know for sure I can actually go to them. I hope to do a race in March but we'll see........

I walked my dog for about 30 minutes, it was almost a run because he can't seem to walk slowly for some reason....

Blah now I'm sick! Haha I don't know I started to feel weird on Thursday. I told my co-worker I think I might be coming down with something, but I wasn't sure I just didn't feel right. Then Friday I was being to get that air head feeling like your head is floating above your body and it's holding on only by a string. I started to get a sore throat too. Then I woke up this morning and it was full blown. I feel a lot better now that I've taken a long nap I slept for 3 hours! My dog sucks at waking me up when I'm sick. Haha he let me sleep the whole time. I guess your pet kind of knows when your sick.

Anyways weekly wrap up! Did Turbo Kick on Tuesday sadly just as I was getting used to the round we were doing the instructor said next week will be a new round. Then I went to Belly Dance class. I skipped Wednesday because I ended up having to stay at work later. I worked out in a Boot camp class on Thursday but no running still. Then I skipped Friday because I had to come in early. Then I woke up this morning and dropped into a Vinyasa Yoga class which was great! I'll be there again next week!

For my first day at Physical Therapy it was pretty hard, I didn't know my ankles were so weak. We spent the whole hour and a half working on making my ankles stronger and then blasting them with ultrasound and electrods. It was interesting and painful all at the same time but I only have 9 more times I have to go there. So then I can start running again in three weeks! maybe sooner.

Today was Belly Dance and that was a pretty hard class today too, it's really hard to separate your body into isolations and then move each part of yourself in a different direction. It was challenging but so what I needed from the long work day.

After almost two weeks for Physical Therapy I think I'm on the road to recovery. I chanced it today with a run. Only a mile, at first there was a tiny bit of pain and then it went away quickly, it was enough that I could stand but not too bad like it was in the past. They gave me ankle exercises I have to do at home, but over all it's going great on my cruise I might chance more than a mile by the end of the cruise. I would like to run 3 miles but we'll see how I feel each day. I want to work out 5 times at least while I'm there. We'll see I might not work out at all. But knowing me there is a slim chance that will happen. I did a boot camp today and I realized I was beat almost half way through, I guess that's what happens when you don't work out hardly for 3 weeks but it was nice to get back in it and feel where I'm at fitness wise I need to try to get back to where I was before. That might be a bit of a journey though.
