Guess what? I went for a run yesterday! My first run since being scared I had a stress fracture! It felt so. so. so. good.
Feeling so good!
Besides feeling amazing, it was also super fun because Husband Saign came along! Did you know how much more fun running is with a friend? It’s so fun! I tricked Husband Saign into coming along by telling him we had to run four miles for May the fourth be with you day! I tried to get him to dress up like Han Solo, but he refused.
Luckily Ada the Dog doesn’t know how to refuse costumes…
Happy she was to be Yoda.
I also had my first run in compression socks! I’m not sure if they improved my performance or enhanced my recovery, but I liked the feel of the pressure on my legs. They felt great!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Hi Becky- looking forward to getting to know you. Ragner is going to be a blast! I love running in compression socks- you will become addicted to them. I have black and hot pink CEP sleeves that I wear all of the time.
Yay! I’m so excited! I don’t think it sunk in until yesterday how great it will be to run with/get to know everyone! I really was a skeptic about the compression socks, but I did some research in medical journals and found out that they really do make a difference!

I can’t wait to meet you in real life! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
That is so freaking precious! And YAY for being running again and for it feeling good! That is great news! And also, gentle leaders are the BEST.
Ha ha, well you can see how effective the gentle leader is for her by looking at how taut the leash is. I really need to work with her more when it comes to being on leash…I’m used to running her at 5am, when apparently it’s too early for her to care to pull.
I love that pic! You look so happy! And Ada looks fab as Yoda. We have a Darth costume for our cat but… he does not like it so much!
Happy belated fourth
A Darth Vader cat costume! That sounds hilarious! Ada doesn’t like being Yoda either. When I put costumes on her, she lays down and pouts like in the picture. This costume is really funny with the dog sitting up, because it looks like Yoda is standing, but Ada refused to sit for me long enough to snap a pic!
