I like boots, but this is ridiculous…

7 months in and finally feeling really good.  Running without pain.  Sure i have no real endurance, but I can do 3 miles without trouble.  The endurance will come, I’m sure.  Wearing pretty much any shoe I feel like, though with 5 inches of snow this morning, my options are limited.  

All the best to those in recovery.  This too shall pass—and mostly you just have to put in the time and let it heal itself, doing what you can.  Best advice I ever got:  Do a little a lot, not a lot a little.

Sang at a friends wedding this weekend in 2 inch heels.  There was a point that I even forgot I had them on.  But that might have been the gin and tonic.  Still, felt great.  One more step towards normalcy!

Same old, same old.  It’s been almost 5 months.  Cut back on the running… felt like it was doing more harm than good.  So I’m just upping my time on the eliptical and stairmaster.  Wish I had some more outdoor activities to do, but such is life. 

I’ve reached a real “it is what it is and it will heal when it heals” place.  I think when all this started I really felt like there MUST be something I can do to cut down the healing time and feel like myself again.  I’m over that now.  I’m doing what I can, enjoying that, and not trying to force early healing.  It’ll be better when it’s better.  I can do exercises and massage at night, and i just have to trust my body to heal itself.  

It sounds more defeatist than it is.  Actually, I feel more at peace about this injury now that I’ve sort of let go than I ever did when I actually believed i had control over it.  Sigh.  

Stay strong my ATR brothers…
