I know it's too early to start thinking about my next half marathon. I'm still in a boot!
But... My next orthopedics appointment is Feb 15th, and I'm hoping she'll tell me I'm good to go as long as I take it slow.
Taking it slow means that I take a full 12 weeks to train, plus a few weeks to regain muscle in my atrophied leg. That puts me in... June. Early June. June 5th. What do you know! There's a race on June 5th in Worcester, MA! That's awfully close, AND I haven't done a Massachusetts race yet.
It's working out perfectly.
And it gets even better! Vick's schedule over the next few months is going to be much lighter than it's been for the past 3 years. Somehow over text messages today, I convinced him that he should run with me! AMAZING.
Now that it's in my blog, it's official. There's no turning back now! Three Cheers for Vick!!!
Update.
A response to Shira's comment:
Dear Shira,
I have been teaching sex ed for quite a while now. I'm pretty sure that a text message that says, "Am scared, but yes?" is definitely consent.
Love,
Casey

Drat
As a beer enthusiast (read: enthusiastic beer drinker) and avid eater, frequent exercise is essential.
This air-cast is really cramping my lifestyle. I can't afford to buy bigger pants, so I guess I shouldn't drink so much beer while I'm a gimp.
It's a sad story.

#42 La Fin Du Monde
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It seems ominous that I spent my New Year's Eve drinking a beer with name that translates to "the end of the world". But I did it, and it was wonderful! Thanks to the many people who recommended that I try this beer. I liked everything about it.
I poured it into a glass, and it was very pretty-looking. It was a teeny bit darker than my favorite beers, but it was still almost orange and a tad hazy. Hazy beers make me happy (and usually a little hazy in my brain). It bubbled tiny champagne bubbles that were fun to watch. Especially after my second bottle. It tasted great and it was high in alcohol content! How could you go wrong! So I drank all four bottles to bring in the New Year!
Being with my family and old neighbors for New Year's Eve was fun. We have a tradition of drinking too much, while playing overly complicated games with elaborate scoring systems. I think I did pretty well, if I remember correctly. Tied for 1st in Pictionary. 2nd place in the Wii bowling tournament. 3rd place in the weird card game we played. I managed to get 2nd overall.
Second place meant I got the glory of knowing I was second best... without having to wear the ridiculous, light-up, chartreuse "Winner's Hat". Score. La Fin Du Monde and me? We make a great team.
Thanks to all who recommended it. I still have a long list of recommendations to catch up with. I'll definitely get there though!
Also, special thanks to Sam P who walked with me to the liquor store and helped me carry the beer to my car. I'm glad to have friends who will help me procure alcohol, even when my hands are busy crutching around.
