I wish I had better news to share but I don’t. I tried to run yesterday but had to bail to the bike after just 2 miles because the darn achilles did not cooperate. Later it swelled back up and I was limping. I have a call in to my sports doc who worked miracles on my hammy last year. Let’s see what he can do.
When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. That’s right some retail therapy was in order don’t you think? Let’s just say there’s a new running skirt in my life. And some headbands…oh and a new hairdo. I left the salon feeling like Cindy Crawford but now I’m thinking I look more like The Karate Kid.
I got home to find these bad girls on my doorstep. Isn’t the timing impeccable? Guess I can use them as a house slipper. I’d call them Bachelor #2 but they don’t seem terribly ‘male’. I love the pink–total hotness. Pay no attention to the gaudy fleece sock. I live in the tundra and won’t shed my fleece layer for at least another month or two.
I know this whole injury thing is just another test of my will. I will get through it. I may be working the expo and/or a water station in Boston this year in my new skirt rather than actually running, but I will be there.
I hope the doctor is able to do something!!!! Loving the shoes 🙂
Definitely be smart about your achilles! Mine sidelined me for weeks because I was dumb and ran through it.
I L.O.V.E. the hot pink on bachelor #2. My type of shoe
L-O-V-E those new kicks!
I will keep my fingers crossed the doc can figure out what's wrong and give you a quick fix!
I'm crossing my fingers for ya! At least you have a positive attitude, that helps a lot.
I will pray for your foot. Hope the retail therapy helped. Love the colors on these shoes. Do you run in Nikes? I have heard bad things about them… is it just a bad rap?
Sorry to hear about your achilles…I will be sending healing vibes your way. Retail therapy is the best (says the psychologist :))…your attitude will get you through this!!
I have the orange lunar glides and I LOVE them! Enjoy!
And rest that tendon!!! I don't want to see you handing me water in Boston – I want a hug at the finish because we both crossed the line!!!
Love the new trainers! Keep your head up about the injury, hope it's feeling better soon.
ugh! hope you find relief for the achilles. maybe rest is the best option?
Praying for go news from the doctor and no long term pain for you!
Nice PINK shoes! Can't wait to see the new running skirt.
Those shoes are so cute, I can't wear Nike but if I could I would get those. Hope your achilles is feeling better real soon, I'd hate for you to look that cute and not be running. 🙂
I'm so sorry about your achilles. I really hope your doc. is able to help you out with it. I'm sending positive vibes your way! 🙂
Love the pink shoes!
Can we get a picture of all your purchases … and the new hair?
Retail therapy is the best medicine. I am LOVING your new kicks… hope you can test them out soon.
Continued good thoughts for your achilles!
I hope you are all better soon!
L O V E the new shoes. Too cute! I wish mine were more cute and colorful!

Hi Marcia,
I hope that the trip to the doc goes well:) Love the shoes…very hot!! Happy Thursday:)
I hope the achilles feels better soon. Hopefully it warms up soon and your able to shed the fleece socks.
You have such a great attitude. That will definitely help the whole recovery process. Hope the Doc works his magic again.
Oh, I'd love to see a picture of the new hairdo. I really can't imagine you as Karate Kid!
Holy cow the shoes are pink! Get better – you have a ton of time to rest up and rock Boston
Bummer about the Achilles 🙁 I totally went and did some retail therapy after my doctor's visit and xrays on Tuesday! haha
Those shoes are so cute! Hope the retail therapy and the for real doc therapy do the trick.
Ohh, I hope your achilles feels better soon! You still have lots of time though. I would love to meet you at Boston! I just got some new Lunarglides too – I had the white/orange ones, the new ones are too cute!
That's too cruel to have new shoes and be injured. Get well soon.
Hope the achilles heals quickly!!
Good luck healing! Love the headband. Really love the sneakers. Let's hope you're wearing them running soon.
omg i love those shoes! what's their 'name'? i am gonna have to copy you! 🙂
Good attitude, keep fighting! You still have so much time, you'd be surprised at what your body can do and how fast you can heal up. Stay positive!
Lovin' the fleece socks. Ha ha! The shoes, however, are beautiful. Love 'em! I decided my next new pair of runners must have pink in them somewhere.
Also, I have a feeling you looking nothing like the karate kid.
Retail therapy is the best! Well, maybe second best to the "food is love" therapy I've been embarking on lately. No, retail therapy is definitely better. Less bloating.
I wanna know what new running skirt you got, and the shoes are HAWT!
that'll be good motivation eh?
LOVE those shoes! And the fleece sock, too. 🙂
I've got my fingers crossed that the doc can help that achilles! Oooooh, and I love, love, love those shoes!
Cute shoes! And, yay, for retail therapy!!!
I am happy you are going to see the sports doc. And am HOPING and PRAYING that your Achilles heals so you can run Boston! 🙂
Those shoes are drool-worthy.
What tundra? Wasn't yesterday a heatwave? Hee hee. I know it is a sad sign when I think the low 30s are warm and I am not wearing my hat or gloves.
Love those shoes!
Hope the doc can provide some additional help! You have a great attitude about this- I have no doubt. No doubt. You will be there!
Great minds think alike, because I just got THE SAME SHOES! I can’t wait to run the postponed Valentines Day Race in them now! I was worried I was going to have to wear my Neon Yellow ones! 😉
Thanks for putting the disclaimer about the fleece socks – I thought I was going to have to do an intervention! Get that Achilles healed!!
Are those the Lunarglides? I am on the hunt for new running shoes and Nike says those fit well for my type of foot. And I love pink, so I have been checking them out. So cute!
super cute shoes!!
and i want to see a pic of the new hairdo! post it on the ahm site!
