NEW SHOES
The orthopedic doctor saw nothing wrong with my foot or my leg (I had them check the runner's knee issue too). No strains, no fractures, no tears to speak of. He really had no idea what the issue could be, but he did suggest I continue the stretching I've been doing because it could only help me. Finally, he figures that since my current running shoes are the first real stiff pair of shoes (also the first officially fit running shoes I've had), that those could very likely be the cause. He's not 100% sure (no one can be), but either way...
I have a green light to run!
(*crowd applause*)
I am officially in the market for a new pair of running shoes! My goal is to have a new pair this weekend so I have the next two weeks to transition into them and try and wear them in.
On another note, I stopped by the grocery store on the way home to pick up bananas. I go through two a day usually and I'm extremely picky about their ripeness. Anyways, I go in to get three bananas and I walk out with bananas, three packs of 93/7 meat (they had $2 coupons on each because they expire today - stick 'em in the freezer and they're good!), celery, a squash, broccoli, and a thing of greek yogurt (yep, I decided to give it a try).
If the rule of thumb is "Don't grocery shop when you're hungry," I shouldn't be allowed within 100 yards of that store no matter what time of day it is.
Now I have to go ride a bit before work. I might even do a short run on my break at work today. Ooooo...

Something that made me smile this week--- the fact that I finally was able to run over 2 miles before having to stop to walk. Yea, be excited.
Yayyyyy you can run!!
I assume either (A) your doc is a runner, or (B) you'll get a second opinion, just to be sure, right? Just trying to look out for ya. Lists. Remember grocery lists are really good to use (especially if you have the discipline to stick with them)
Glad the verdict was a good one! I'm anxious to see what shoes you end up in and if they work.
Something That made me smile this week has been the threat of a major does of ALOHA coming my way....mmm smile, lol. Try this, tell me what you think!

Good to hear you can run
so glad you can run. And is it bad that it made me smile that you're giving greek yogurt a try? You'll be crossing over to the dark side soon enough muahahhaa :)
I'm glad you got the green light on running. And, I eat a ton of bananas too!
Bananas are perfect for a very limited time but when they are perfect they are the best food ever.
So glad you've been given the go-ahead to start running again! I hope you find a new pair of shoes that will work perfectly for you.
A co-worker forwarded to me a hilarious photo of another co-worker sitting on his lap. Definitely made me smile. :)
Well happy he didnt find anything wrong and your good!
What made me smile... my whole crazy week :)
You will love the greek yogurt!! It is very smooth tasting!! glad nothing is wrong with your foot! Onto more training!!
So glad you got the ok. At least you picked up healthy stuff on a whim. :) Spending time with my fam on my bday made me smile this week. :)
