5 happy miles

phyllisFebruary 3, 2013February 3, 2013

5th feb

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, this will not impress the most seasoned runners out there but its was a real victory for me.  I was able to run on Saturday after a month off for my stress fracture.

The first mile and a half I felt like I was running on someone else’s foot. Then for the next half mile it felt like I had something in my shoe.

Then at the mile two it all came together, it was amazing,  I had made the decision to go with my original playlist from when I learned to run and it was a good idea.  There is nothing like the 80’s music for me !

Before I knew it, I was past the 5K on the treadmill and should have been starting the cool down but I looked at myself in the mirror and my face was so calm, and my right  foot felt just like my left foot and I just didn’t want to stop, so I kept going..

Running really is a gift and I will take really good care so this type of injury doesn’t happen again.

Signed,

Your galfriday4fitness

    It’s an interesting paradox that a barely profitable Amazon can have a significant advantage over a much more profitable (42 times), and far richer ($145bn cash v. $11.5bn) competitor. And it’s because of its stalwart shareholders. [url=http://www.pickyourbagsonline.com/]louis vuitton outlet online[/url] louis vuitton outlet online

    Late Thursday, the exchange said in a notice to traders that it “isolated” the source of the problem and was conducting an internal review. [url=http://yourphoneonline.wix.com/jordanshoes]retro jordans[/url] retro jordans
