If you thought for a second that I could triumphantly return to running without documenting every little tiny insignificant step, well, then you're a fool.
I was granted ten minutes of running at my PT appointment yesterday morning, and I tried to wait until the conditions were ideal to head out: sun shining, wind gently whipping my sunglasses off and into the street, stomach the perfect combination of "I ate too much pasta for lunch" and "feed me again, please."
The poet made sure to commemorate the occasion by taking at least six photos for every glorious minute I was permitted to bounce down the street.
Indeed, it was a family affair.
I started out pretty tentatively, but after a minute or two without shooting pain up my leg, settled in and it felt oh-so-good. Heavenly, even. Big ups to my calf.
Sadly, 10 minutes and 47 seconds was definitely enough for the first day, and I woke up sore and stiff and limping just a bit, but I'll take it. Don't call it a comeback, baby, I've been here for years.


6 pictures and no ass shots. Your ratio of ass shots to no ass shots just took a significant hit.
ReplyDeleteYou should win some kind of award for the photos you post on your blog - always the best!
ReplyDeleteEpic duckface there.
ReplyDeleteBut how many miles did you run?!?! No pictures with fingers counting the miles. FAIL.
ReplyDeleteMama Said KNOCK YOU OUT. I'm gonna knock you out :)

ReplyDeleteyay! welcome back. It sucks to be out of running shape but it admittedly is kinda fun to get noticeably fitter by the week. I like the "I bust mine" shirt :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Beth. Also where is the pic of your Garmin?

ReplyDeleteIt looks like you forgot to wear your fuel belt. I hope you weren't severely dehydrated at the end.
ReplyDeleteIs that your best zoolander face? I think you should try harder
ReplyDeleteYay to you running again!! Of course I love the doggie pic :-) Ok I also love the pics of you enjoying your 10 minutes!!
ReplyDeleteThat pizza dough recipe looks hard....wait you aren't talking about pizza dough are you.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congrats on the 10 minutes. Sometimes that is all it takes to remind us of the love we have for these sports.
Ditto Victoria: Garmin screen or it didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Great photos! You look happy.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you hitting the road/sidewalk with your feet. I won't say welcome back just yet. :)
