Running again!

[roadie gal]

I'm posting this here because I've been posting my whining here...

I'm running again!! It's been over 4 months since I strained/tore my TFL. After 2 months of physical therapy I'm finally running. I started 2 weeks ago with 1 minute run/ 1 minute walk on the treadmill and last night I did 7 minutes on/ 1 minute off for 45 minutes WITHOUT PAIN! Today I'm a tiny bit sore, but not much. I'm not going to really push myself for a while. I'm trying not to be stupid. But I'm just SO happy that I can run again.

**happy dance**

Yay! I'd go nuts not being able to run for that many months. I'm excited for you to be able to get back at it!

Enjoy it!

Excellent! I know exactly how stir-crazy you must have been going...I have been doing the same with not being able to run due to IT band syndrome and then a few other things that have cropped up. Things are finally getting better and the PT gave me the OK to try a short run (she said not more than a mile) so I will probably do that later today. Hopefully all goes well...I did a short one Monday and the IT band didn't act up but the hamstring on that side felt tight and was a little uncomfortable.
