Yesterday was the San Francisco Marathon. This was my first half marathon last year and this year I signed up months ago to race in the second half. It was a hard run last year, but after I finished I was ready to sign up for another race, and so the addiction to running really …

C is for Cookie or Cake I guess
What do you do when you are antsy and stuck in the house because you can't leave without a chaperone? You make cookies! I literally just threw together what I thought might work so here are the approximate values to make these cake like cookies: 1 egg, 1/4 sugar, 1/4 cup of whole wheat flower, …
I made it!
I went in to the office every day this week! After spending the morning on the couch, sleeping a bit more, relaxing and getting comfortable, I would head to work around noon and work till end of day (5:30pm). I was nervous to go back on Monday after 3 weeks of absence, but it felt …
Kicking the habit
Well, it wasn't so much of a habit as a necessity. I have been on some amount of pain medication since the moment I was stabilized in the ambulance almost one month ago tomorrow (so crazy to think it's been a month). I have been slowly cutting back on my doses and yesterday I actually …
Dad’s Here!
As many of you know, I am not native to California. I grew up in NJ and moved out to San Francisco a year after college to be with my boyfriend who is from the bay area. I love living here, but having family live so far away is never easy, especially when you break …

Time to Sweat
Over the past few weeks on crutches I have worked my way up from shuffling to the bathroom to hopping up and down 3 flights of stairs. For the past week or so we have made an effort to take one outing a day so I can feel human and so I can get some …
To the beach!
Yesterday was a much better day than the previous one. I felt rejuvenated after crying and I was ready to take on the day after a good sleep. I made breakfast all by myself in the morning - I cooked eggs and topped them with goodies AND somehow made it to the couch with my …
WIAW on a rough day
I will admit it. Yesterday was a tough day in my recovery process. I have been so incredibly positive about the entire situation, but reality finally crept in and I collapsed under the pressure. There are so many things going on in my life at this moment in time and breaking a hip has not …
don’t mind if I do
I feel stronger and stronger on my crutches (or Mary Kate and Ashley as I like to call them) every day. It took a little while to figure it all out, but since I heard yesterday from the doctor that I still have at least 3 more weeks on these babies, we have become fast …
