Today was a milestone. July 21. 2023 was the day of my last 3 mile continuous run. There were three more 2 mile run the following week then no runs until late 2024. Ankle surgery January 18, 2025. Today, April 21, 2025, I ran 3 continuous miles. I'm a runner again!
I've been building up to it, gradually, observing my body for signs of stress. There have been some setbacks, but nothing major. Mostly sore and burning muscles re-learning how to run properly again. Breathing is becoming easier. Legs feeling strong, though still some hip and hamstring burning.
I still have a ways to go to get to the fitness level I want. No more marathons but running 3-5 miles 3-4 days a week. Throw in a mile repeat workout every couple of weeks. An occasional 5k race for motivation.
67/52 could be a good year. I have a couple of people I need to try and keep up with...and who are challenging my "cool" grandpa factor.
