I’M BACK!
Wow it’s been so long. I hadn’t run in nearly 6 weeks and at the end of June I finally gave the knee a test run. I still had some pain and things felt uncertain. My mind went in every single direction, wondering what would happen if I could never run again. So I took another week off. Then I ran a mile. And then 2 miles. Finally the other night I just threw it all to the wind. I decided that I would run from my house in Astoria to Central Park. About 5 miles. If I hurt my knee for good so be it. I’d just run with the pain for the rest of my life. So I ran. And Ran. And guess what? It felt amazing. I still have a little pain, but nothing that my body won’t deal with. So now begins the long road to the race. Can I do it? YES. I’M BACK!
