Finally back running....

[Duanerice]

YEEE HAAA! I was finally able to run today for the first time since my knee operation. It has been 4 long weeks. Can't tell you how good it felt to put on the Ipod, start up the Garmin and get out there on the roads. OK, I only ran a little less than 4 miles since I didn't want to push it but it felt good. It as only 75 degrees this morning but it was already 95% humidity at 8:00 a.m. Summer is here.

Other than the heat it didn't feel too bad out there today. Thought I'd feel worse after not running for 4 weeks but, I have still been exercising and walking at a fairly fast rate.

I'm back on track ready to start training for the January Marathon!

enjoy,
Duane

Excellent job, I hope your training with your "new" knee goes well!

Welcome back to the running world I have been there before and it is tough when something you love is taken away and than given back. Enjoy it!

Welcome back to the game. I don't know if you are experiencing any swelling or soreness after your runs, but if you are be sure to apply lots of ice to the hot spots. After my scope I had more that a bit of this so my freezer was filled with 5 ounce dixie cups filled with ice and after exercise I would rub the ice all over the points until the ice melted off. This put the fire out.

Best of luck in your rehab.

Duane, Great news! I am so happy to hear that you are back and your running went well. I know you will be careful, but the "Mom" in me has to say be careful.

It is really a happy thing to hear for sure!

Duane: It must feel great to be back on the roads. I'm only a few weeks back after 13(!) weeks off following knee surgery. Stay healthy.

Thanks everyone.

Taking it easy, just did 3 miles inside tonight. Too humid to go out and when I go out I am tempted to go too far. So far, no swelling or pain. But, I keep bags of frozen peas handy just in case.

Thanks again for the encouragement.
Duane
