1. Hubs is injured. :( It's his knee this time (good old
"runner's knee") and it started acting up right after Goofy. The prognosis is no distance running (5K max for now) or back-to-back days, so his Spring marathon plans have been side-lined. Please send some good vibes his way for recovery (mainly to keep him sane and positive during this recuperation period). I'm trying to encourage him to enjoy the down time, get healthy, build a strong base and have a wicked comeback later this year.
2. I had my annual check-up at the doctor on Tuesday. I love these appointments. Coffee? No. Cigarettes? No. Drugs No. Alcohol?
No. Sometimes. Exercise? OH YEAH! Doc wanted to check my iron level and a few other things because of all the running so I'm waiting on those results, but otherwise I get an A+ for Healthy!
3. I have a lunch date today with the lovely Mel of
Second Chances (and a mutual friend). We live/work extremely close together
(less than a marathon distance apart, as Mel put it) and don't see each other enough, so this is long overdue!
Happy Thursday (almost Friday)!

Great health check! I love doing mine as well because it's usually good.
Healthy (((vibes))) :0)
They are the best appointments aren't they... lol Great news though!
Have a blast at lunch! :0)
Love the sometimes on the alcohol section :-) That is great that you are going to meet up for lunch. I hope that you have a wonderful day!
I bet the doc loves people like you!
Hope your husband get well soon! Knee pain is no fun!
Great job on your check up! :)
Have fun on your lunch date
Oh NO! Hope your hubby heals fast!! I k now its sucks to not be able to run so hopefully he will be back at it soon.
*Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for the hubs!*
Otherwise, it sounds like things are going great!!! :)
Yikes-what is it about "Marks" and runner's knee?!? Going for my knee MRI tomorrow...
Hooray for the A+ grade!!
Bummer about hub's knee, though. Does he do any other sports that might allow him to stay fit & sane while his knee recovers? When I couldn't run (due to hammy and calf strains), I've always just put in more time in the pool and on my bike. I didn't lose much running endurance at all, it seemed, although loss of speed was an issue.
lunch with Mel, I am very jealous!
So for runners knee, I did LOTS of walking and leg lifts and that mentally got me through the down time
Yikes! Sorry to hear about Mark's knee!!! Sending speedy healing vibes! :) Awesome news about the doc! Looking so forward to lunch!
It's nice to get a clean bill of health (even though you already knew you had that!) I love lunch dates w/old friends. Hope it's a great one!
hooray for health!
sorry about hubs :( ice ice iceeeee.
you know you are a runner when... (#93089)... you measure distance in marathons.
lol. happy thursday!
Oh have fun with Mel!! Don't you just love the confirmation of HEALTH!!
Poor hubs.. I know he will ROCK the 5K's during the down time.
Yay for a clean bill of health! :)
I am sending healing vibes for your husband through the interwebs right now! :) He'll be such a strong fast runner once he returns!
Oh no!! Sorry to hear about the hubs! But yay for a healthy check up!
Thinking VERY good thoughts... you may never know-- people recover at different rates. He may be back running sooner than he thought!!!
Sooo... I've ASKED my Dr to check my iron and he just goes "yeah it's probably low... if you start passing out we can put you on some pills." Ummmm... I don't really want to get to that point Doc!!! And here yours is offering to check you. Fine... I'll just have to go to Canada to get my health checks! It will prob be better than our healthcare if this bill passes... but that's for another convo (yep, I decided I've written enough that this is now a full fledged convo).
I'm JEALOUS of a running buddy lunch date!!! I want one too... ok while I'm in Canada checking with my new Dr. we'll have to go to lunch! Sounds good? Good!
Happy almost Friday!!!

Congrats on the A+ for Healthy! Sorry to hear about your husband's injury. My running partner at Disney is also experiencing a post-race hip injury. That was a rough race!
Speedy recovery to your hubs. I guess the Goofy will do that.
Congrats on the A+ checkup!

No coffee? Good lord, how do you manage stay awake all day :)
Sending healing vibes to your hubby ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yay for an A+ on health :)
I'm sending good vibes. I'm also happy for you about your check up and your lunch date. Lucky you- have a great time!
My hubs is injured too and it's not fun around here. I hope yours gets better quickly!
Sorry about Hubs....hope he heals quickly. Congrats on the check up!!!
no coffee at all?!? how do you do it? i mostly just like it to sip on something for awhile. unless its loaded with sugar i can't say the taste is awesome...
sorry to hear about hubs. hope his knee feels better soon! i think knees are the worst - you can't stretch or roll them really.
I hope the knee recovers quickly. I'm sure he knows that strengthening exercises will also help.
Congrats on the clean bill of health!
Hope the hubs gets better soon! And thumbs up on the A+ from the doctor, my annual check-up is next month and I'm crossing my fingers for similar results!
I love going to the dr too and answering those questions -the picture of health :) yay
