Learning to Run

Greetings! I hope all is well with you and yours. As you might imagine, I post information on the Internet all the time. I have no idea who reads it or when. This week I have a tiny celebration. For the first time since October 23, I ran with no pain during or after the run. I am ecstatic.

Since the first procedure on my left foot, I ran three miles on a treadmill once in November. I felt every step of it, but pushed through because I’m not smarter. It’s funny, with a total of three procedures over 8 weeks, I completely changed my walking pattern. I noticed that a bit as I started when I tried to run again last week.  The entire episode was quite awkward. I felt like I was learning to run all over again. After about 10 minutes I worked into a normal stride. I know this celebration is a minor one in the reality of the rest of the world, but I am so happy right now. I had to share.

Thanks for listening.

It’s cold outside. Keep moving to keep warm and stay healthy. Run!
