Ahh, to be at the beginning of a journey ...

I feel that I am the beginning of a journey.

I did the IMH race 1.5 years ago and have been injured since. I am finally getting some positive signs. I feel so ignorant. My daily shoes!

But since I have been down so long, I feel as if I am starting over.

Where do I want to go. Since I am nowhere, I am not heading down a specific path. I can easily choose. Maybe I just want to run, maybe race?

The racing to me was just a carrot to keep me training.

I will try and choose the path.

I continue with progress

Friday I tanned and swam. Friday morning I did my 2 mile jog.

Saturday, I jogged 2 miles and rode my bike for an hour.

Foot feels good.

Today: I am riding for an hour and then visiting mom-in-law.

Why didn't the professionals stress proper shoes?

Proper shoes for daily life.

I went to the doctor.

I went to the physical therapist

I was stretching.

I was doing all of this stuff.

I switched shoes (daily life shoes).

Now I seem to be healing w/o the stretching and all of that stuff.

I feel like such an idiot!

Yesterday - I was going to attempt 2 miles

Yesterday I was to attempt 2 miles. My gps went out. I know I was somewhere between 1.5 and 2. Honestly, I am sure it was closer to 2. A new battery this morning. My foot is a little sore. I will keep my soft shoes on today and see if that helps. Wifie is back to being sick. All I can do is try and ccomfort her. Better days are ahead.

Slow & Steady

I have somewhat diagnosed my problem: Everyday footwear!

It seems as if I am making progress.

I am now jogging 1.5 miles. I am wearing shoes during the day which are both soft and include a heal. I am going to try and jog 1.5 miles again this morning. This will be my first consecutive day.

I really may be turning a corner.
