I started this blog quite a while ago, while training for a marathon. I quit posting here when I quit training for marathons. But, I haven't really quit running. I haven't quit trying to be active. I haven't quit craving that post-run endorphin high.
About 7 weeks ago I had surgery on my knee to remove some torn cartilage (It had been torn before, probably from playing soccer, and it had been repaired before). I also had some cracks and fissures inside my knee cap that were causing pain and some arthritis. I also have a partially torn ligament that is hopefully going to just stay partially torn and still allow me to do what I want to do.
And so, I took some time off from running and I am starting again.
I am up to 15 minutes of running, three times a week. That is not quite a marathon. But, it is running.
It is not where I was. But it is good.
I don't think I am going to use this blog to track my runs. But, I think I will use it, on occasion, just to remind myself how much I like to run. Or I might not say anything at all and just direct you over to that widget over there that takes you to the Daily Mile, where I have been logging a few of my runs. Or I might forget to log them over there also, and I might just be enjoying running and being outside.
