First run!

Well, I'm happy to tell you that it is exactly 99 days since my last run and I am running again! My surgery was 98 days ago. It's hard to believe that more than 3 months has passed.

So to be honest, I did run last night at PT on the treadmill. It was very short and treadmills don't like me, so it hurt a bit. I think tonight's run outside was much better. I took it easy. The first 2 minutes was spent walking and warming up. Then I did a fairly slow pace for the next 5 minutes. Then I walked for about another minute and ran home from there. All in all, I estimate I ran a total of .75 miles.

My feet hurt a bit, but not the numb feeling like before. I think it's due to not having run in over 3 months. It's certainly an exciting feeling, though. Can't wait to start full blown training. :-)

It's been a while...

Hello! Happy new year! So, an update has been a while. Of course, with the holidays and such, things have been a bit busy. However, things are going well. My left leg is still a little bruised, but my doctor isn't worried about it, so I'm not either.

PT has been going well. Doing a lot of jumping exercises, and some things that I don't particularly like, but they seem to be working. This week I talked to my therapist about going 2 times a week instead of 3, and he thought that idea was fine.

I had a small setback after feeling some pain in my right hamstring after a PT session. It lasted a week or so, but seems to be fine now.

I've signed up for my next Team In Training season. I've decided to up the mileage and attempt a full marathon. Of course, I can't even run right now, but that's not going to stop me. I'm sure I'll be back soon, and I feel as though PT is preparing me to be better than ever!
