“Prior to my surgery date I stopped running during WODs I would row or walk due to the impact of hitting the ground. I told myself post surgery I would run again and it would be pain free! When I returned to the box there was running in the wod I remember the first run was 400 meters total! Coach Emily asked me what is your win today I looked at her and started to think I told her running with a huge smile
On my face. Pre coronavirus the furthest I ran was 800 meters still proud of myself. If I remember correctly in the first or second week of home workouts there was a wod where there was a mile run then a movement then a mile run. That day I was able to run one mile. The second mile I walked and ran. Today I wanted to test my running and my mental game. I ran 2.16 miles pain free I truly didn’t care my time I just wanted to see if my body could do it. My goal is to run a 5k pain free. It has been a long road I still have six more months of recovery. Every day I feel that my body is a science experiment what can I do some days it’s not much and I take the small wins. Some days my wins are bigger I will take that too.”
