Running update....

Finally feel like I have my running lungs back.. Ran 3.5 miles last night and it felt great... all except my left foot went numb.. This concerns me because It feels like the superficial peroneal nerve that was entrapped in Scar Tissue might be compressed again... At least the muscle compartments in both legs feel great.. No fatigue at all when I ran... Came home and did a deep tissue massage but overall I am pleased.... If the numbness continues I will go back to the doc...

Finally running again!!!

September 2008 I got sick and caught Pneumonia, and this exacerbated my Asthma, and needless to say I have been fighting to get my lungs back... Good news is that it is Feb and I am running 3 miles in the gym... Legs feel great.. Scars are still pretty visible and sometimes people will glare at them, but I don't care. I wear them like a badge of honor... I am tough... I keep going... I strive to get back to doing what I love.

Tonight I was running on an indoor track at the gym and it felt awesome. No shortness of breath.. feet felt light... calves were tight, but I did not care.. just crusin.. I forced myself to stop... slowly building mileage... looking forward to warm weather and long trail runs....
