YAY! This girl is running again!

I'm not sure when my leg magically healed itself, but because it was semi-nice out today (minimal wind, a bit of sun, temps in the 40's instead of the 20's like it had been the past few days) I decided now would be a good time to test it out. So I went for what I planned to be a short and slightly disappointing run (I didn't think it'd be completely better yet, and I didn't think I'd be able to go very far from being off for so long)

But to my surprise, it didn't hurt. I went my normal 3 mileish loop around campus with no problem (except my nose running like crazy) I didn't feel like I had to run really slowly either. I was moving at my normal pace.

I'm so happy to be back to running. I know because it's winter and the weather isn't always the greatest that I won't be able to get outside to run as often as I would like, but just knowing that I can run when I want and not having to worry about being injured is such a relief!

I think maybe some of the fitness classes I'd been taking at the beginning of the semester helped. Like kickboxing and step classes have a decent amount of impact which I think helped prep my leg for the longer runs.

All in all, it's been a pretty good day and a decent start to the semester. :o)
