7 days so far

Well it's been a week and really no worse for wear.   Trying to be smart and I am just running one of my regular loop courses but only running 2 miles.  Sunday the shins were a bit tight so came home and googled stretches for it.  Today while at PT, I mentioned it to Dan and Ian, who actually taped my shins.  Tonight although having to work myself back in shape the shins were fine.  Not that I am going to tape them all the time, but will have to look for some arch supports or maybe look into some orthotics.
But the neck feels good, really haven't noticed it at all after runs, more than the post-surgery soreness, but even that is going way down.
Well that's it for now.  Planning on taking Tuesday off and heading back out on Wednesday.

FINALLY!

Well after weeks on the shelf, and 45 days since my last posting (didn't really want to bore those of you that actually read this with nothing but the same old day to day stuff) at 10:45 this morning I got the all clear sign.
I have to admit that part of me wants to run right out and do 5 miles, but my head tells me to go off slowly.  I am SOOOO out of shape, but excited about hitting the roads again. 
My Physical therapist says to start on the roads as the trails, being uneven surfaces, may be easier to start off on.  Either way I am going to lace them up tonight.  No Garmin (dont want to get to depressed right off the bat) and just take it as it goes.
As always, Be well - Sank

WELL I DID IT - 2 MILES ! :)  AND I DID USE THE GARMIN !  IT WAS AWESOME
