I went for my first pain-free(ish) run today - 20 whole minutes on the road-to-nowhere that is the treadmill, and I feel soooo much better. I have new shoes (running and dress shoes - a girl needs balance in her life), and a much improved outlook. Has anyone else had the experience of a physio or doc saying "You'll be fine now," and feeling like you've been given permission to not feel sore anymore? Today I'm enjoying that particular feeling.
Plus I'm now thinking that maybe a 25km event in a month isn't totally out of my reach after all, and that I'll be able to head to that event with friends. I would have gone anyway cause it'll be a great weekend - the social side of running is definately important. And it's nice to come back into that, too, as well as into the business of getting and staying fit, building a good base, and making it through winter training. Today in our fair city we had winds gusting 140 km/h, so it's time to break out those training routes that involve a tail-wind and a pick-up rather than a turn-around and head home :)
Cheers all!
