running!

i've been running again! whohooo... i'd say im at about 80% back to normal. i may get some sort of injection after my medicine runs out to decrease some nerve pain, but i am back to running. slowly i've been working up to run the nagoya city half marathon. its net week. ive been running for 2 weeks.

let me preface this with; i was unable to run for 3 months. however i was cycling and swimming and my endurance hasnt changed much. my legs get tired and i have some pain when i run (not steady pain, it comes and goes) but overall i think i can run and finish the half marathon next weekend.

today i ran 10 miles. slowly, finishing in about 1 hour 35 minutes or so. i know i can easily add another 3 miles to that. now im just going to take it easy this next week. running a bit, swimming some, and cycling a little.

it feels good to run again. to have that time to think and clear my head. to listen to podcasts. to be outside. to get that good feeling after i finish.

lets just hope it stays this way...
