I was determined and willing to go for a jog yesterday evening. I drove to a trail that is about a mile away from my home. The entire drive there I fantasized about running and how good it was going to feel. I miss the burn in my lungs and the tightening of the muscles.
When I got there I stretched and started off on my run. I remember thinking "OK here we go. Day one!" After about 30 seconds I felt a sudden burn in my knees. And shortly after a shattering pain and a little pop. Trying to ignore the pain. I kept running, and after about half a mile. The pain forced me to stop. I bent over and took a deep breath in and then released it. in...out...in...out about 2 minutes later. I stood straight up and proceeded to get back to the car.
When I got home I could hear the baby's cry from the drive way. I made my way up to my front door trying to ignore the pain and prepare myself for the task ahead. As my hand touched the door knob I took one last deep breath before diving into the challenge that my daughter had laid before me.
I walked into my home and picked her up. I got her to calm down and took advantage of the time and took a quick shower.
I then hopped into bed and rubbed my feet until I feel asleep. So today I have been walking around with sore knees and feet. I suppose I am going to have to take it slow with this workout plan. So here I am…. writing this post and trying to keep off my feet. I hope tomorrow's attempt will be more of a success.
