The 2 year old runner

Today was day two of my post injury running. It was another easy two miler, which went great! I averaged 8:08 miles and had absolutly zero pain! Not a bit! It was awesome! God is good!

When I returned home, I stretched and used my foam roller. As I relaxed for a few moments before taking a shower, my 2 year old daughter grabed my foam roller. She sat on the ground, and surprisingly used it very well. She ran it up and down her legs just like daddy! Then she got up, and told me she was going running, and proceeded to run throughout the house. How adorable! I love her so much!

Praise the Lord and run on!

About Time!

After all my moaning and complaining, I finally did it. I went out and ran! It was only two miles, but I did it. There was still a little pain in the right IT band, but after some stretching and foam rolling, everything feels great. I'm preying that God keeps me healthy, and I'm taking as many steps possible to insure that is the case. It felt good. Very good, to have ran again. To wake up before sunrise and throw back a couple of easy miles, to feel the tiredness in my legs again, to feel that burn in my chest, knowing that I'm making myself a healthier person.

Here's hoping that I'm going to have a healthy 2010 in running.

Praise the Lord and run on!
