On the mend

It's been 2 weeks since I put foot to treadmill and decided I was broken. This morning, I decided to put foot to treadmill again and see where I am. I've had a couple of breakthrough days of little swelling and minimal pain. It seems to be healing. So, this morning, after a spin class, I decided I was going to walk 1 mile on the treadmill. I got about 3/8-mile in, and decided that I felt good enough to try a slow jog. So, at the 0.5-mile point, after 7 minutes and 42 seconds, I jogged. For 0.5 mile. Slowly. Feeling each step for anything weird. Granted, everything hurts when you think about it microscopically. But nothing felt unusual. And that is good.

So, my first real run back, almost pain-free, occurred today, April 9.

I'm on the mend.
