Gobble Gobble

Made it into Cincinnati yesterday morning from NYC. I left with Charlotte (friend from Cbus) and Katie (her sister's friend's sister) on Wednesday around 2pm. We anticipated to sit in traffic, but the roads were actually not that bad. We arrived in Columbus shortly before midnight and I was able to stay the night with my old roommate, then drove into Cincy Thursday morning.  It has been a bit overwhelming being in large homes and apartments.  I am use to living in such a small box, over populated streets, congested trains, and crowded grocery stores.  

                

Another Reason Why I love Brooklyn

Saturday Stroll in Park Slope with Kaytie. 

We went to the Farmers Market at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn. It was FRIGID. I had 5 top layers on and 2 layers for my legs and was freezing. We got sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, green peppers, tomatoes, and apples.   YUM!!

Rainy Days

Another rainy day....

I have experienced more rain since moving to NYC then I did all of last year in San Antonio. I was use to blue skies and warmth.  Now I have rain, cold, and darkness beginning at 4:30pm.  The worst is walking a mile in cold rain--no matter all the effort I put into staying dry, I will be wet. 

Last Wednesday, I saw an orthopedic doctor for my foot. It has been hurting since the Scranton Marathon.  Before I saw him, I thought of worst and best case scenarios...Best: give me some physical therapy and i'll be ready to start running.  Worst: boot me. 

The Worst was chosen. I am now wearing Betty Boot Jr.--the smaller version of my original boot that I got in January.  An MRI was done on Tuesday and I will find the results out on Friday.  A positive side, I will most likely be able to start running around Christmas and should be able to run Boston in April, even though I should technically begin training the beginning of December... 

So now, I have the opportunity to walk 2 miles a day in Betty Boot Jr (she does not stay dry in rain), go up in down subway stairs, and balance myself while riding the subway.  Occasionally a nice person will let me sit down.  Some people look at my single boot and ask if I am ready for ski season.....
