Well, the last 9 or so months have been absolutely insane, but I really want to get back into writing and will be trying to post somewhat regularly. I’m going to start with just a REALLY high level summary off what’s been going on will probably dive into some of these more in future posts. First of all, I don’t that I ever published that I am now going by Kit! I’ll probably write a little reintroduction but I really just want to get this first post out haha.
No running 🙁
Well, the wildfires absolutely killed my running last summer. I couldn’t get out at all and it just killed my asthma, so instead I had been focusing on just lifting and exercise bike in my house. As soon as the smoke cleared up, I broke my elbow taking my dogs out around the neighborhood. It was bad enough that it required surgery to fix, I’ll keep that x-ray out of this post but might share in the future in a post with a big warning for people who don’t like that sort of thing.
With the broken elbow, I had to avoid activities with decent risk of falling, and if you run enough trails with me, you would know that I trip somewhat frequently. So that meant lots of rest and eventually some light home workouts. It was late winter by the time I could start comfortably running again, and I also completely missed out on snowboarding. Which brings me to…
Bottom Surgery
This will definitely be it’s own post sometime soon. I was on the cancellation waiting list for gender affirming bottom surgery with OHSU. I had not been expecting to have surgery for quite some time, but in February I got a call to see if I was available for surgery with only two weeks notice. I took the opportunity and scrambled to clear my calendar and get support to make it happen. Thank you to everyone who helped me out!
The surgery had some complications, but I am incredibly with how everything has turned out. With that, I have only just gotten back into running and working out. I want to write some posts both on how I prepared for this (running and electrolysis anyone?) as well as how getting back into running is going.
Hobbies
I have really gotten some more into other hobbies and I want to write about them in additional to running. I’ll work on tags and headers on the site, but I have been painting miniatures, playing D&D, and so much more.
I’m feeling like I’m getting back into a good groove in life and I’m so excited to get back to writing as well. Please leave a comment with any thoughts or if there’s any topics you want me to write about most!
