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. :-)
I have been running for more than a year and a half, and recently underwent surgery for exertional compartment syndrome in both of my legs. After not finding much online about people's personal experiences with this, I've decided to blog my experience.
