Shot to hell? Not so much.

This just in-

So, yes, I took a nap. But after that, I hauled my ass out to my favorite running trail and ran a little over 3 miles, in 38 minutes. That's 7 more minutes and one more mile than I've been running since I was allowed to start running again. Let me tell you, I was thrilled.

Of course I wanted to run more, but I remembered what my physical therapist told me and held back. No sense overdoing it. I was so inspired that I signed up for a Memorial Day 5-mile run, so I damn well better be hitting the road with regularity in the next few weeks. Nothing like having a goal!

I'll also be making a training plan for the half-marathon very soon. This will be my third one and I am determined to finish in under 2 1/2 hours.

After losing so much time in the traffic jam earlier, I definitely feel better about how today turned out.
