The amount of exercise I’ve done in the last few months is comparable to the flow of a desert Arizona creek in July. I’m not losing any weight or doing much for my health sitting in the office chair. Twice recently I’ve done some short bike rides, w/o any problem. And in the last week, I’ve cautiously noticed a lack of any noticeable stiffness or tenderness in the left leg.

So today was test day to try a run. Just a simple 20 minutes out, 20 some back. I did pre-ice, walking to warm, pre-stretches, and glory be! I ran without any pain at all! It was slow and plodding, but I am smiling.

Now what? I’m thinking fo going slowly, and spreading activity across more biking, maybe some swimming too. Maybe a 5k in the summer.

And a shoutout to me niece Katie, who did a 22:036 5k to qualify for a meet. Go, girl. go!
