Today is the day! The day I *try* to start running again after completely shattering many, many bones in my face and now I am finally 3 weeks post surgery and am going to give it a go! It was so bad having to watch all the runners at the Wallis Sands 1/2 this weekend and not be able to run with them... I'm glad I went and volunteered anyway but I was itching to run!
So I did a 2.85 mile loop by my house to get the blood flowing at an 8:15 pace.... not where I want to be, but I'll take it for my first run in a long time! A little nervous that I'm going to run a 5 miler on Saturday since I haven't been able to run, but I'll get through it and let it be a starting point for getting back into it. Certainly won't be the 3rd place overall finish I had at this race last year, but I didn't have a broken face then either.... =)
