Shin splints and my cozy office

I had a great run with Maggie yesterday! We ran on Centennial campus - they have a 3 mile running path with different exercise stations along the way. We cracked ourselves up by trying to do some of the crazy exercises, like bunny hopping over an inclined pole that got higher and higher and not being able to do even one pull up! Weak. Here is my run:

And here is me after my run:


Icing those shin splints!

I'm trying to follow the R.I.C.E. method - 
1. Rest (took over a week off, and am slowing easing back into running)
2. Ice - see above!
3. Compression - see my last post!
4. Elevation - kicking those legs up after I run! Not hard for me to do haha.

This week has been going by super fast for me, which is great! It's because I've been busy and productive at work and my nights have been scheduled with workouts and friends and shopping and dinners. I've tried to make my little office space cozy and comfy to work in - which is very hard because since we moved offices in December, I have downgraded to basically a glorified cubicle! 


Hung up mirrors with plain black frames that match my diploma frames and put a short table lamp in the corner to warm up our fluorescent office lights.


My cork board squares with a few pictures, important people's phone numbers, a note from Josh, thank you notes and an ad for an event I did in the Carolinian.



My iPad, which I love for how easy it is to carry around in my bag to meetings and such. Plus the keyboard is awesome! A few more fun pictures, a pen cup Julia got me, and my constant coffee and water that I alternate all day.


Random mouse pad I snagged in the move - I don't "go" to State anymore, but I did! My Raleigh Promise notebook, hand sanitizer and lotion so my hands don't dry out. I eat a green apple almost every day at 10:30am - I am a creature of habit!

And that is about it! Nothing else too exciting in there. It's a cozy little space for where I spend so much of my time!

Tomorrow night is our first night of playing soccer, so wish us luck! :)

  1. Great blog, KL! Really glad you a back into running (and I'm a little jealous too, because I wish I could be running). But it sounds like you need to do more STRETCHING after each run!! Good luck with soccer (I'm sure all the skills honed in your youth will return quickly). ARP
