I know I’ve been a bit MIA in the last month, both with blogging and reading blogs. The truth is my wrist has been bugging me and it’s just painful to type and click away with the mouse. I woke up on Sunday morning feeling like my wrist was broken after weeks of a slight, nagging pain (this occured after a shoveling incident). One of my tendons had apparently decided to go and get all inflamed at night. Now I’m wearing a wrist tensor and feeling a little incapacitated when it comes to doing pretty much everything since it’s my right hand. 
I’m likely going to be MIA from any serious blogging for a few more weeks, since I’m starting my reflexology in 2 months and I want a nice strong wrist for that. It seems I may lose most of my readers, but I suppose that’s the price I must pay to let my wrist heal.
In the meantime I’ve decided to really work on my distance when running. Two years ago I learned how to jog. I reached my goal and since then I haven’t really pushed myself. I’ve decided to set a goal for myself this year rather than just running aimlessly for months on end with no destination in mind. My parents live 6 1/2 miles from us and I think it would be great to be able to run all the way there! I’m at 2 1/2 miles already, so that’s only 4 more. :D ONLY 4 more. Which is further than I’ve EVER run. Ha. But I think if I train properly, I can do it.
For starters, the past two years I’ve only started jogging in April. This year…January!! AND I’ve never jogged in subzero temps until this year. So that will help my lung capacity in the warmer weather. I think. Sounds like a good theory anyway. :) I’m hoping to increase my distance by 1/2 a mile every 2 weeks. We’ll see how it goes.
And just to prove my point about why I’m not doing much blogging, this post took me 5 hours to write 
One sentence at a time. I have managed to keep up with my 365 project. So if you want to see something from me every day, go there. I’ll be here as much as I can. Bear with me.

Sorry to hear about your wrist I hope it heals soon, congrats and good luck on your course and … if you get up to running to your parents place … how are you going to get home?!?!? Sorry, that’s just the sense of humour I have
Don’t worry, I’ll still be here when you get back.

How about if you just type with your left hand? No? Okay, it was worth a shot. I’ll miss your wit and wisdom and will be waiting anxiously for your return. Good luck with the running!
