Running faster!


I just wanted to record an achievement that I am a bit proud of!!

There is a track not far from my home that I run around. Before surgery last year, I could run it in about 7 - 8 minutes. About two weeks ago, I ran it in 4 minutes!!! I couldn't believe it. Then, a couple of days ago, I ran it in 3 minutes 48 seconds!!! I felt I like I was running faster than I used to, but that sort of improvement really surprised and thrilled me!!!

My goal was always to be fit again ready for the second surgery. With it being booked a lot sooner than first thought, I was worried I wasn't putting myself in the best possible position for a good recovery, but after taking note of this running achievement, I think I am fitter than what I was thinking!! I still have a constant feeling that I am wearing a belt that is a bit tight, but it doesn't bother me as much and some days I hardly notice it.

I am feeling positive again!
