Running Again - FINALLY!

YEAH I'm back to running! My goal was to start running by Feb 1st and I've beat it. Ok, granted the run times are SLOW, but it's a start and boy does it feel good.

I'm a wimp so I'm still running indoors, first because I live in Chicago and it's stupid cold here, secondly the physical therapist and doctor recommend it - at least for awhile.

I was so excited today, I go tmy Metro Health Grand Rapids Marathon Newsletter! I read through is and got all psyched up. I'm signing up. I was too late to sign up for Chicago's Shamrock Shuffle and I'm not about to miss another opportunity.

Good news is Neal wants to run with me. Is he insane? It must be love. I'm still sticking with the 1/2 this year. So I've got someone to train with.

Oh I'm so excited to run. Glad my knee is cooperating. I just have to remember that the muscles still aren't at 100% - so don't push it and cause bigger issues!

KEEP RUNNING!
