I ran today!!
Besides humbling, the road of recovery is waking up every morning and reintroducing your self to your body.
Self: Good morning body, how ya' feeling today?
Body: Okay, but my neck is real stiff from the incision and my left eye is numb.
Self: No worries, we’ll take it easy today.
But today it went something like this…
Self: Good morning body, how ya' feeling today?
Body: Alright. Tired from the tinnitus.
Self: Hmm, I have an idea. I think it's time we try running!
And so you have it - I ran this morning… and it was GREAT! Granted, I ran slower today than I did on the first mile I ever ran when it was California State Law for all fifth graders to complete the mile. But that’s no big whoop; I still tried! Not only did I feel drunk, I know I looked drunk because I zigzagged from side to side. But who cares because I did it - wow!
Okay, my body’s now telling my self that it’s time for a nap.
SO proud of you!!!! That's awesome, and such a huge encouragement to see where you are now compared to just a month ago! I ca't wait to see you...
