Well, that’s been a while, hasn’t it? I just realized I hadn’t ever included in this journal that my shin pain was, in fact, a stress fracture. So, for the past three months I’ve been hitting the elliptical and stationary bike a lot, and finally moved back up to the real bike as well as a bit of rowing machine near the end. (I also told myself I was going to do a lot of swimming and pool running, but so far have done zilch. *sigh*)

But! It’s been three months. So today for the first time since the marathon I got to try out a short run; 10 minutes walking, 5 minutes running, 5 minutes walking, 5 minutes running. For the first time back I decided the indoor track was the way to go, and when all was said and done it was two miles (well, I added on 20 more seconds but what’s that between friends?). No pain, so that’s a very good sign. Next run is scheduled for Thursday.

It’s nice to be back.
