Been a bit bummed this month because of my right knee.  Doc says it’s just inflamed, no ligament tear – but to halt running for 4-6 weeks. However if I keep it iced, I can still run with pain & most likely do no damage.  That was the positive rendering of his diagnosis – should I not heed his advice of immobility.

So I put it to prayer (sorry in advance for getting spiritual in my blog).  I believe my God can produce miracles or will provide (mental) comfort/peace if physical healing is not in the cards.

Happy to report I’m running again with little to no pain & on target to complete my 2^nd half-marathon in Fort Collins 🙂

Additionally, I booked my June flight to Anchorage with an extra day on the front-end to sea kayak & join a glacier night hike. Life’s meant to be LIVED!  The goal was to complete a marathon, not win.  No regrets!

Movie of the Week

“Lars and the Real Girl” (2007) – laugh-out-loud funny, yet charming story set in Minnesota – which means they have those crazy cool accents;  Ryan Gosling was nominated for a Golden Globe, Patricia Clarkson also rocked as Dagmar, Lars’ doctor.
