I once was lost but now I'm found...
Today I ran 3 miles.
It has almost been 6 months since my last run; And today (after many PT & Doctor appointments plus two sets of orthotics) I was myself again. It was the best 25 min. I have had in months!
I parked my car in Lower Bidwell Park at about 12:45 p.m. I really didn't know how it would turn out; I expected to walk a little for sure. Lately when I try to run I can only make it about .25 or .5 of a mile before I need to stop and walk and rub my knee. I have only been able to go about 1-2 miles at a time-walking most of it.
I could tell after I hit my first mile today was going to be different and I got pretty excited. I was in heaven even though it was extremely hot. The last 1/2 mile I was in a little pain but not enough to make me stop. By the time I got back to my car I felt like I had just crossed the finish line and I actually started crying. I was surprised to say the least.
I have been jealous of all those runners out there for months and today I was one myself. I hope I can do it again tomorrow...

YEAH!!! I am so happy that you got to enjoy running again. I know how much you love it.
What a great post, so glad you could run again and really enjoy it!
So happy to hear that you can run again!!! What a relief for you...a way to de-stress sometimes I am sure! All I can say is I wish I loved running like you do!
Yea! I'm glad you're feeling better and able to run. I WALKED all the way from the parking lot to the doctor's office today without stopping - but that's about where my endurance ends. I can't even THINK about RUNNING. You're amazing.
That is the best when you can do what you love, especially after NOT being able to do it for so long. I bet you won't take any of those runs for granted. Glad you are all healthy again!
I'm so glad you're back to your best (or getting there)! I'm sorry to hear you've been having such awful problems.
