Dear Right Jaw:
You need to get over yourself. It’s been three whole days since you’ve been cut, and let’s just say the left jaw is a little tougher than you because things were hunky dory the same day.
This whole “oh it’s too painful to run” thing? Yeah, it’s not going to work. Same with the “it’s too painful to open your mouth more than an inch, so please cut everything into itty bitty pieces.”
We have a race on Sunday called the Queens 10K. It’s not going to work to run a half mile, only for you to send shooting pains across my face up to my ear. Sorry, but that won’t stop the race. So get over it and start healing already.
Love,
Lora

I am so stoked that the Olympics are LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY!
I love the Olympics! It’s such an exciting time of year. My favorites are running, swimming and gymnastics. What about you? I haven’t been able to watch a lot of the trials but am hoping to tune in to some of the running events this weekend. I’m sad to see that Natalie Coughlin didn’t re-qualify in her 100m backstroke (she still has a chance in freestyle), but congrats to the two who did (I even used to work with one of their moms! That’s kinda cool!). Galen Rupp is moving on in the 5,000m. Today is the semi-final for the 1,500m run and I’m hoping I can find a live feed online to watch… any tips?

If you haven’t voted, would you mind spending 13 seconds to do so? And letting your friends know? They will invite you to their launch party, promise! They are definitely the most deserving people I know for this and it would be awesome if they could get their dream off the ground. Click HERE to vote!

Aww I hope your jaw starts to feel better! It's a bummer when non running related injuries slow you down. :/
I'm excited for the Olympics, although I haev to be honest, I have not been following the trials all that much!
I know!
I feel so lost and sad without being able to run, especially since my legs are ready for it!
Do you have a dry socket? Mine felt like something was literally boring into my jaw at all times. Hope you get better soon!!
That sounds awful!! It's not to that extent, but I think the jarring from running hurt it… I could feel the pain up to my ear.
Today is my first day without pain pills because I had to come back to work, so we'll see how that goes. 
Good luck without the pain pills! You can do it
Also, if you have Time Warner – the olympic trials are on channel 481. You can watch your own account on your phone/tablet with the TWC app!
Awesome!! I have the TWC app so I'll have to check it out — thanks for the tip
I am REALLY excited for the Olympics too. I like to watch EVERYTHING. I need to find a place to watch them somehow.
Come to our house!!
I hope that your right jaw starts cooperate! Mouth pain of any type is the worst.
Thanks girl! And agree — I just want to eat a huge salad but that won't be happening, haha.
I voted
I hope your jaw feels better and you can run this weekend! I'm also an olympic junkie! I love gymnastics and swimming! So fun
Thanks for voting!! And thanks, I hope it does too!
I like watching the track events! They're so crazy fast
I know… and the crazy part, Americans are often slower than everyone else
Hope you start to feel better and that you have a great race this weekend! The Queens 10K looks like it'll be fun!
Thanks! I've never really been to Queens (LGA doesn't count) haha so it will be fun!!

I'm a HUGE Olympics nerd (I get scarily excited for it!) and I seriously cannot wait for July 27 to get here!!!! I grew up figure skating so I prefer winter over summer, but I love to watch both. As someone that once dreamed of making an Olympic team when I was a little girl, I can only imagine the joy and excitement all of the team members are experiencing (especially the first timers)! It's incredibly motivating!!
That's awesome that you used to ice skate!! I love watching that sport!!
