casts are a blast

i was able to see my x-ray for the first time. it was crazy. there was a very apparent fracture. but the dr. was nonchalant about it and said that as long as it wasn't in the joint things would be good. as in i won't need surgery. sigh of relief. she said that it would likely be about 3 months before i would be able to run on it...which sounds like an eternity but i realize it could be much worse. one option was to cast it for a couple weeks. the other, wear the air cast...which would allow me to shower and rotate my ankle. the freedom was appealing but i opted for the cast. i know myself. it was the smart move. the appointment was pretty systematic. you come in...they diagnose you and then order your treatment plan. it felt like an orthopedic drive thru. in casting room b, kirk the caster, didn't say a word to me the first 5 minutes. and i did the same. hospitals and dr's offices have such weird lighting. you either feel as though you are going to be interrogated ...

this is my mantra for today...

image found on web for anyone reading this, please say a prayer that i will finish my 3rd half marathon of 2011. described by the race organizers as both challenging and hilly, the Goat Mountain Gallop race follows a point-to-point 13.1-mile route that starts in the nearby town of Colton, which lies just a short drive east from Molalla. from there, runners then head westward along the paved country roads between the two towns, which lie in the foothills of Goat Mountain, for which of course the race is named. should be interesting. as long as i finish and don't feel like i did after the half in february, things will be muy bueno. although, i am really hoping the t-shirt and medals are cool, given the name of the event and all... trying not to get my hopes up...too much. ha! will be sure to give you a full re-cap. on sunday i am running an 8k called bridge to brews in portland. it is intended to be a fun recovery run although nothing makes me run faster than knowing i get ...

i'm nuts!

ok, so you all know how much i love me some trader joe's honey & sesame covered almonds but here is another nut to love.... emerald cocoa roast almonds! i first tried these at my sister in law's baby shower. the host had a cute little dish filled with chocolate covered something or other--i didn't care what was hiding beneath-- the chocolate sounded that good. (which is odd given that i usually don't have a chocolate tooth) what a delightful surprise to find that it was an almond-and it wasn't drenched in chocolate; just coated with a beautiful cocoa dust....like the last sprinkle of snow in spring. i've been hooked ever since. they come in a nice canister or a box of little packages--which helps me have some self control...(Target usually has the best price!) so, go nuts for cocoa roast almonds--i sure do!
