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!

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!
