Life In The Mitten: August 2011
http://displaced-duck.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. It hit me a couple of weeks ago as I was sitting at soccer practice watching the new freshman descend upon campus in droves as they moved into the dorms. 20 years ago I moved to 219 E. Church St, Oxford, OH 45056 to start my. Freshman year of college. No idea why it resonates with me that way. Maybe because those four years in Oxford living in the Evans Scholar house were some of the defining moments in who I am? Oh that's rig...

Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Cast day 20 (8 days to go).

Life In The Mitten: May 2011
http://displaced-duck.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Me: Do you have a foam roller? Him: No, but I've got a Nalgene water bottle that will work. Part of me smiled at his resourcefulness.for about 2 seconds and then the rest of me got pissed off. Why you ask? This is why, and almost word for word what I told him:. Even worse you'll spend way more money than that this summer on beer! Stop making excuses and do what you need to do to be a better runner! Wednesday, May 11, 2011.

Life In The Mitten: January 2012
http://displaced-duck.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Wednesday, January 04, 2012. I've noticed a trend. By scrolling through Facebook and twitter I'm seeing a lot of "friends" celebrating the end of 2011 in a different manner this year. Usually it's the same old "looking forward to next year" or "had a great year, looking forward to continuing that this year" kind of stuff. The trend is that 2011 sucked. Across the board. It did for us! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The two of us on the Oregon coast. Natio...

Life In The Mitten: Hitting "Enter"
http://displaced-duck.blogspot.com/2011/12/hitting-enter.html
Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Monday, December 12, 2011. I've got a plan in place now. I've got the next 10 weeks planned out for my rehab and getting back to running. That's the easy part. The hard part is going to be getting back into the routine of getting it done. So here's the plan for the next three weeks (sort of*):. Tuesday: Cardio - at least 45 minutes, I'm hoping on the elliptical. So, I've gotten it all programmed out, now I just need to hit "enter" and run the damn thing.

Life In The Mitten: February 2012
http://displaced-duck.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Monday, February 13, 2012. February is almost half over so I'm sure that a fairly high percentage of resolutions have been thrown by the wayside because change is hard. But then we set ourselves up for failure in that regard - too lofty of goals, too drastic of a change in behavior, etc. Update on the ankle:. Originally the plan was to train for and race the Rock 'N Roll Half Marathon in Seattle. I realized though that I was being too aggressive wi...

Life In The Mitten: July 2011
http://displaced-duck.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Sunday, July 24, 2011. July seems to be the month of anniversaries. Our wedding anniversary, T's mother's wedding anniversary, the anniversary of losing a friend, and this one: 5 years ago we arrived in the mitten. The place has, and continues to, grown on us. It's not perfect, but it's not as bad as originally thought. The mitten does now have the distinction of being the place we've been in the most, so that must be saying something!

Life In The Mitten: December 2011
http://displaced-duck.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Today marks the 8 week point from my surgery. I'm officially building up to that return-to-running point. 30 minutes on the elliptical today at the Y. Kicked my ass - yes, 8 weeks of inactivity will result in some major detraining, but at least I'm to the point that I can start working on my fitness level, so that when I do start running again I won't be that far behind. Monday, December 12, 2011. Thursday, December 08, 2011.

Life In The Mitten. Life, Running, and Other Things. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. By the time you read this I will have been freed from my fiberglass accouterment. Pictures of the scar will be posted once the freed limb has been thoroughly cleaned, scrubbed, and scratched. Probably multiple times. It means that rest time is over. Time to get back to fitness. Rehab starts this afternoon, fitness-improving activities start tomorrow morning. The countdown to running has begun! Tuesday, November 22, 2011.
