I ran two miles today! That may not sound that amazing but to me it is awesome! I wasn't able to run all summer due to major pain in my left heel. I have rested it as much as I could and when school started I began taking classes at the gym two days a week while Clarissa is in preschool. That has been a lot of fun. The other three days I was walking about 5 miles with friends while pushing the stroller. Now it is too cold for that. Today I went to the gym with Clarissa so I had to take her in the play room/workout room. The treadmill was calling my name. It has been really hard for me not being able to run. The exhilaration, the rush and general feeling of well-being I get from running 2 or more miles just cannot be obtained any other way that I have found. I was afraid of hurting my foot but it was worth it. I wanted to keep going but I felt I should be cautious also. I am hoping I don't regret it tomorrow!
