My leg is feeling better today. I still can not run or walk too fast, but I feel encouraged and know that this time will pass and I will be back to normal soon!
I went for a good 45 min walk outside this morning. It was a cool day, full of sunshine and it made for a perfect setting for a great walk. I wanted more than anything to run – I had to really work hard not to over do it and just start running, but I held my pace, a strong walk, not too fast but enough to give my leg a challenge.
