Enough is enough of this sitting thing... like.. no... really... I'm done. I was told that I could run - it would just hurt. So after about 2 weeks of just sitting and pain and basically just not moving, I couldn't take it any longer. I told myself that if I could get a shoe on, I was running or walking or something.
Let me tell you, the shoe was painful! But, I got it on.. and I got on the treadmill.
I can't really put into words how great it felt to just move my body again. I had said a mile,
but that mile turned into 3. I kept the pace slow. I walked a lot, but I was just happy to move.
I think this sweaty smile says it all.
Did it hurt? Yep. But it was what my heart needed, and I'm glad that I got in some exercise. I did take it easy the rest of the day. Lil Man and I blew off our errands and just had some fun in the sun around the house.
The following day was 3 hours at Hershey Park followed by evening Hot Yoga.
FYI - sweat in an open wound BURNS!!!! A few minutes into the class, I knew I was in for a painful night. But it was such a great class, and I couldn't believe how difficult it was for me. It's been awhile since I've been able to do yoga. But I felt relaxed, rejuvenated and more limber by the time the class was over. Oh, the burning in my foot? It lasted for hours.
And finally, yes, finally, I was able to get out on the trail. I was short on time. And with a sore ankle, still healing leg, and a hole in my foot, I needed to keep it short anyway. So I only got in 1.5 miles, but boy did my heart sing.

This.... these views... just being in nature.... never gets old...
And my jette skirt (affiliate link) and Zensah compression sleeves didn't disappoint either. They were perfect.
(Learning how to take selfie running shots. Um... yeah.. it's still a work in progress ha)
And although it was a super short run, it was perfect for today. I'm so thankful that I am healing, and that I was able to get back to moving my body.
How did you move today?
