Dinko out of range

By ckubitsky Filed in personal April 8th, 2008 @ 09:02

As of early this morning, Dinko took off with the rest of the group with REI Adventures from Kathmandu to Lukla to begin his 2 1/2 week trek through the Himalayas and up to the Everest Basecamp. He will be out of range so we won’t hear from him until he resurfaces in Kathmandu. I’m sure he’ll have a fantastic and rejuvenating time! Hope he doesn’t encounter the Yeti, or any dangerous mountain creatures.

For those interested in exactly what he’s doing out in Nepal, here’s his itinerary.

Gained 3 lbs

Going backwards on the diet a little. The achilles tendonitis that I have is preventing me from walking and doing any cardio. I didn’t realize just how much regular walking had an affect on my fitness and weight loss. Hopefully I will be able to lose the extra pounds once my foot is better. I will be staying home most of next week so I can stay off my foot and speed up my recovery.

Achilles Tendonitis

By ckubitsky Filed in running April 3rd, 2008 @ 21:16

So, that’s what I’ve got — achilles tendonitis. Doctor says I’ll live. No doubt. I diagnosed myself with this condition just less than a week ago on twitter. The wonders of the Web and the ability to google. I have to take some prescription anti-inflammatory, which may make me dizzy and unable to drive my car. Perfect, since I have a dog and need to drive to the dog park while my husband is away because I can’t walk him :)

I’ve been asked to rest and not run until it feels better and after I see a podiatrist. Doctor feels that if I take the medication, rest, and follow the advice of the podiatrist next week, I’ll probably be able to run Broad Street. Gotta work from home more next week. Not sure if work will like that much.

Injured and on my own

By ckubitsky Filed in running April 1st, 2008 @ 20:35

Well, silly me must not have stretched well enough on one of my runs last week, because now I can hardly walk. The injury slowly worsened, rather than hitting me all at once. It bothered me over the weekend, but I chose to run my 6 mile long run anyway, which I paid the price for the next day.

So, here I am, limping with an ankle brace and it’s just Pablo (my dog) and I. I drove my husband and all his gear to the train station today so he could start his 3-week trekking trip through the Himalayas and Nepal. It’s a very exciting time for him and unfortunately a much more difficult one for me.
