45 min!!

Well...today I was FINALLY able to run my entire scheduled run! 45 min... Whoo hoo!!

My instructions were to keep on running as long as pain was in areas A and B and not in areas C and D!!

Those instructions I can follow. And the good news was pain was only in the appropriate designated areas! :)

It also helped that I am STILL trying to figure out how to run with orthotics but without socks. It seems like everytime I forget at least one little spot to bodyglide and that undoubtedly turns into the unexpected shouldn't be there blister...

So I ended up with this ENORMOUS blister on my right big toe that seriously encompasses my entire toe! It hurt like crazy so it helped take away from all the other aches and pains... but in the meantime I was trying to continue to run without trying to run funny because of my blister...

So it was an interesting not very pretty run... but a RUN NONETHELESS!! :)

I guess this has been a new experience for me because I haven't been out of the game, but I'm not entirely in it either. I've either been healthy, doing my thing, or injured to the point that I had to sit out for 2 weeks or so and then ease back in. I've never really had to figure out how to keep playing but on a limited basis, so it's hard to fight those voices in your head telling you to get a grip and work through things that the rational voice says to take it easy on...

The whole push through the pain/no don't push through it stop battle has seriously wore me out these past few weeks! So today when I was given specific pain instructions, that helped! :)

But were getting there... it's getting better... and hopefully the GROOVE will be back by Sunday!

Thanks for reading! Good night!
