I'm back in the saddle again ...

Well, actually I'm back in my running shoes again! After 4 weeks of taking it easy and not pushing myself after my leg injury, I went for a walk/light jog this morning and boy have I missed it!  Little confession to make though.  I was talking to Canada (my friend, not the country) the other night and realized that the reason I hadn't gotten back out there was because I was actually scared to.  Scared that I would reinjure myself and really feel like it was over.  But this morning at 4:45 I told myself to get out of bed, get my walking clothes and shoes on and get outside!  Glad I listened ... and even though its still warm out at that time of day, it felt so good to be moving around.  I only went 1.66 miles as I don't want to overdo it and kept an average pace of just above 15 minutes per mile.  The route I took is slightly different from the norm as the one I was doing before had a crazy hill at the beginning, so I went a different way out of my apartment complex to get to the main road.  It still has a hill, but not as steep.  And as I expected I teared up as I began running cause I had missed it so much!

Can't wait to do it again!
