Today was my first run since getting injured in late September. I did a five minute run, a five minute walk, a five minute run, a five minute walk. It was only 1.57 miles, but that's the most miles I've done in nearly four months. I had absolutely zero foot pain and I am beyond excited about that. My new running shoes felt great. I went into it thinking I wouldn't be able to run for the full five minutes, so I am really glad with how it turned out.
The next several weeks will be spent doing interval training like today's workout, attending physical therapy sessions to gain back some strength, and doing cross training like spinning and strength exercises. I hope that it won't take too long to get my distance and endurance back to where it was.
I'm excited for all the amazing opportunities and adventures that this year has to offer. I'm looking forward to running more races than last year, training harder than last year, and running more total miles than last year. I'm just excited about it all!
Extreme YAHOOS n' WHOOPEES atcha, girl! You're going to get some good miles in those new foot tires you have and even more confidence in your spirit. I'm so in your corner and rooting for you.
