Yes, two posts in one week. Woohoo! Something must be
happening with me, right?
Yes. Something is. It is improvement. Improvement that I am
able to see, to feel, to celebrate!
For the first time since July I have been able to string
together FIVE, yes FIVE running days in a row. That is BIG in this world of
mine. I don't feel any pain!! Just a tiny bit of numbness in my index finger.
Yesterday after work Topaz and I headed off to my old
running grounds. I wanted to try running on gravel road, just to see how I
would hold up. In the past I have
run miles upon miles on this gravel road as there are many dirt trails that are
offshoots and easy to access.
I ran hundreds of miles here while training for Lean Horse where I ran my 100 mile PR of 21 hours.
Yesterday’s run was awesome! I was able to run fartleks for the first time in a long
time! I ran a full 90 minutes upon the gravel without any pain.
At every trail intersection where Topaz and I have turned
onto in the past he stopped and looked at me, waiting for the direction. He remembered.
As we finished up our run, walking a cool down, I said “Topaz. Do you hear that? It is my
soul. It is singing. “

Awesome post. It's the soul, indeed. So true, Julie. I know exatly how you feel, I do. Holy cow, girl.
Great to hear the body is coming around...we've missed you on the trails this past year. :-( Bill P.
Julie, I am so glad you are able to run again! I suffered with a herniated disc in my lower back and other issues in my cervical spine. I ended up having surgery on my C-spine but my lower back healed! You are inspiring to me!
Hey Olga! I know that you know exactly what I mean, girlfriend!!
Bill, thanks, it feels good to be back on the trail, indeed!
Sonya, glad to inspire you. That is the reason I began this blog 7 years ago. Keep on healing, keep on running ;)
