1st post op race!

I took a mini hiatus from blogging because a bunch of things were going on, but I'm back!  After the 6 month birthday of the left ACL, activities were much easier to do and I slowly started to get back to the physical activities I used to do.  I resumed biking to work, and I had so much fun doing it because I got a new helmut!


which one's the real thing?

up early and ready to go!
One thing I really wanted to get back into was running!  So, for motivation, I signed up for the Hot Chocolate 15K on November 5, 2011.  At first I was nervous because I knew that the weather was going to be chilly, but then I thought about the chocolate treats at the end :o).   I finished 1 hour 23 minutes, pretty good for my first race back!  I felt great afterwards, but my right achilles felt the affects for 2 weeks after the race.  I'm thinking that it was from compensation from guarding my left knee.  Rest and ice helped that heal.  I took a break from the runs (not those runs), and focused more on boxing!  Anyhoo, here are some hilites from the hot chocolate race!


it was so cold that the our dippable items got stuck in the chocolate fondue!  that's what sheee said.
