Running!

These are actually running miles today!  I talked to my doctor in the morning and he said I could run state, so I ran to get my muscles used to it.  I walked 2 laps and then ran a lap.  One of my hips hurt, so I tried in the other direction 1 lap and it felt pretty good.

Then I did some lunges and another lap, and then 2 laps consecutively.  My arch is a little sore because this is the first time in over 5 weeks that I've run or had arch support in a shoe.  I feel like I've lost some cardio but I'm hoping it will be fine.

Tonight I did 1/4 mile with my sister.  I'm still not used to running, and I feel like I run differently but my sister says I'm faster (but we only did a 1/4 mile, after all)  and I hope that I'll find a comfortable place soon.

I'm so glad to say good riddance to the boot and start running again! 

I did 1 mile warmup and then 2 laps of speed changes. My cardio doesn't feel as good as it used to, but I know it'll get better with time.

I'm excited for state tomorrow! 

We did a 1-mile warm up, which felt pretty good.

I wasn't sure how I was going to do after almost 6 weeks without running, so it was an interesting race.  My time wasn't as good as I'd hoped but I was just glad to be running and I realize that I haven't for a long time.  After the race I noticed a little bit of pain in my foot, I reeeeally hope it hasn't rebroken.  For the first part of the race I stayed with Tess, then at about mile 1 my breathing started feeling bad.  My legs weren't sore this race, but I need to build my cardio back up.

Overall I am really happy I was able to run!
