The 1st mile Back

At my two week post-op appointment I was given the green light to start running, but to start slow and not push. So today I logged a very slow and easy 1.5 miles.

Mitchell on New Year's Eve.  He stayed up until midnight to celebrate the New Year for the first time!

It's frustrating to know how much hard work it took to get to the place I was at fitness wise. And between not running for almost 4 weeks and recoverying from surgery, it feels like I am almost starting over again.  But I know I can't push myself too hard.....I need to let myself continue to heal, slowly start to increase my distance , gain stamina and trust that I can gain it all back again.
