Hello! Remember me?!?
As the story goes, I was forced into a running hiatus after the April 11th event. Over the last 6 weeks I took the time to feel sorry for myself and heal. But I missed running, I missed yoga, I missed sharing athleticism with my sis. I have gotten the green light from my Physical Therapist to "start slowly" and so, I'm back in the game!
I think the best way to get back into it is to just get back into it. Today I laced up my running shoes, and felt excited like a puppy that hears the car door open. ~ I rode the stationary bike for 20 minutes to warm up, stretched as if my life depended on it, then started out walking at a fast pace. At the 1/2 mile mark I picked up speed (if running 10:45 minute miles could be defined as "Picking up speed".) and off I went. My goal was to run one mile comfortably.
I could feel my hamstring, but it didn't hurt, it just felt over worked. You know that feeling you get the day after a tough work out. I clipped along feeling pretty good. When my mile was up I felt sad, because I wanted to go further and felt like I could. But I stopped hoping that stopping at a mile will help me run 1.5 next time.
Run Sister!
