Crossing my fingers (and toes, and legs, and eyes, and...)

Ran 4.2 miles yesterday without pain. My leg still aches frequently but it may not be directly related to running. Running itself doesn't hurt.

Of course I'm also getting up early every morning to do a half hour of stretching and icing, doing another half hour of stretching and icing at night, icing before I run, and going to physical therapy once or twice a week.

I told Sarah...if it gets me running, it's worth it!

I tend to jump ahead of myself in running too. I've run a grand total of 11 miles since I've started my therapy and already I'm thinking about whether I can start really training enough to be ready for a half-marathon next May.

It's nothing compared to the ultra-marathons I hope to do someday, but it's light years ahead of wondering whether I'd ever run again.

Keep praying for me!
