After a wonderful vacation for a week and a half, it&#8217;s back to work. The daily grind.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first vacation I&#8217;ve had where one day into it I had a sinking feeling of having forgotten to do something at work before leaving. Two days in I had emailed back to a co-worker to update a few passwords.<\/p>\n<p>But after getting that out of the way, the vacation was wonderful. My ankle held up as well as I could expect, and I skied without pain for most of it.<\/p>\n<p>After the great week, I thought I might be able to go for a run! The ankle is still a little sore, but I thought it was possible. Three houses away, I was feeling the pain, and by the end of the block I stopped, went back, and grabbed my bike to follow the Juice-ette and Yeti around the lake. The pedaling motion is a far lower impact activity.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, your local sporting goods store will sell you any number of different ankle braces with different levels of protection, little slip-on neoprene booties all the way up to plastic casts (real comfortable looking).<\/p>\n<p>After trying a few on, and running around Sportmart in my socks, I settled on one of the lace-up boots. It worked well enough to make it over to the lake, down the near side and then almost back to the house. As it breaks-in, I think it will support even better.<\/p>\n<p>The point of this story is that I was feeling like a tremendous slug sitting around, not doing any exercising or anything. If there was some sort of work-out program that involved vacuuming, I would be all over that, but alas, you don&#8217;t work up quite the same sweat as you do while running.<\/p>\n<p>So the weather is beautfiul here in minnesota. The air smells wonderful, all the plants are sprouting and budding. Birds, chirping. Kids, playing. If only we had some outdoor baseball!<\/p>\n<p>Things you can look forward to in the next couple weeks as I get back into a routine here&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I made an epic ski video from the trip. I will post it here. Ski team buddies will get a kick out of it I&#8217;m sure.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll be going to the Living Green Expo at the end of April, to find out how I can live green. (Britt, are you going to be there?)<\/li>\n<li>Hopefully seeing a concert or two (M.Doughty is coming to town with a new CD out in May)<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll probably babble on about BioDiesel again soon, much to the chagrin of my shrinking readership.<\/li>\n<li>and whatever I feel like, gosh!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been gone a little while.
