It's been a good October! I am officially past the 6 month mark. I was supposed to see my surgeon on Friday, but he rescheduled for 11/7. I will be interested to hear what he has to say, but I think it will be positive. I am still running - and am signing up for my first race, a 5k to benefit cancer research on 11/5. So I am really hoping I don't do anything stupid at the race, because I don't want to hear it at the doctor's appointment. I am pretty much doing 50/50 splits, meaning I run and walk equal amounts. I usually just mark it by song on my iPod. When I first started going 1.2 miles was really hard, and now I am built up to 3-3.5. I go really slow and am not going to break any speed records but I am liking it. It's also a good excuse to buy cute running clothes. Totally justifiable.
My hamstring still is really lagging - we're still doing e-stim at physical therapy. I can definitely think of more fun things to do, but mentally it makes me feel better. It's nice to know it is still alive in there, just taking a little nap, I guess. I'm also surprised that I still have fluid in it after all this time - it puffs up all the time! I have been traveling a lot for work and after flying it's huge. I love ice.
Speaking of ice, I am currently icing something besides my knee right now - I pulled my adductor running this weekend, so I am resting up! I don't want to be down for long - my race is in a couple weeks and I am excited for it.
Thank you for reading and hope you are having a fabulous fall!
