even a little run = the best.

I went running on Saturday for the first time in months and months (thyroid problem = unbelievable weight gain = ouch, knees).  Don't care, had to do it.  Me not running is me not happy.

It was just a measly three and a half slooooow miles, net downhill.  My legs still hurt like hell (seriously, I can't walk down stairs right now).  But you know what?  I'm really proud.  About as proud as I was after running my two marathons.  It may not be much but I still have it in me.  I was so thankful for that.  There's hope out there and I'll be back ... in time.

Yay! Three and a half is a lot, when you haven't been running.

Congrats!! I know how hard it can be to restart an exercise habit. I hope this leads to more runs. :)

thanks! I do go to the gym every day and do the elliptical pretty rigorously, so wasn't expecting this to do my legs in so much. those muscles must've thought they were retired by now :)
