"test" run

So, good news. I went to the track this morning and did 1 mile pain free. Before I left my house I used the foam roller and stretched a ton. I was super nervous about this measly mile. You would have thought I was running a mile race. I got to the track and walked a lap. Then I did just as the doctor ordered: walk the corners, run the straights. After the first lap I was expecting the pain to start every time I ran, but it never did. WooHoo. It was so hard to hold myslef back, but I kept to the plan and forced myslef to walk. I have another appointment with the PT on Tuesday. I am excited to report the good news and see what I can do next. I came across a couple* of articles that spell out what to do after an injury. It looks like a long SLOW road to recovery, but to be honest, after seing some of the patients at the PT's office - I am VERY LUCKY! I am still nervous of course about every run in my near future, but today was a major step in the right direction! *check out that 7 week Pfitz training plan...
