I met with my PT yesterday and he gave me the go ahead to start running again - albeit very slowly but I got the go ahead! I went out today for my first run in over 2 months. I had to keep it to only 20 minutes and I had to do a run/walk combo. I ran 3 minutes and walked a minute and repeated that for 20 minutes. I almost cried a couple of times during my run because I was that damn happy to be running again.

I have never dealt with such a painful injury (pelvic stress fracture) before and I felt pretty depressed the last couple of months. My depression was hard to pull out of - I gained weight and realized I used food as a crutch more often than I like to admit. I started Cross Fit and I really like it but it doesn't fill the void that running does for me. I know I have a long road back to where I was. I'm hoping that I will come out on the other side a better and smarter runner who doesn't rely solely on running and who now understands the importance of strength training.

No one in my life understands how important running is to me so I'm very appreciative I have a place to share my crazy running thoughts:)
