Ok so now that this site is about all aspects of my life and not just about the books I read or have read. And one of the things you will be reading about is my running. Now you haven’t missed much over the last month and a half because I sprained my ankle on May 28th and I have been rehab since then! The physical therapy I’ve had at NovaCare over the last several weeks has really worked wonders. Over the last few days I have had virtually no pain. So I was hoping for a pain free run..
On my last two walks, I have incorporated half and quarter mile segments of slow running. The total distance of the walk/jogs have been two miles.
This morning, I thought I would try and walk the first quarter mile and then run maybe a mile or a mile and a half. However, when the lady on my Runkeeper app said begin activity I instinctively started to jog! I made the first quarter mile with no pain! I also made it to the first mile with no pain. I knew at that point I couldn’t stop because I would be just a pile of sweat that wouldn’t be able to start up again.
So I kept going and altered the route I was running to maximize the shade and figuring if I could hold on I could finish the run in some shade! I was able to do just that and then walk home, which turned into walking another half mile. So the total workout was 2.5 miles with two miles of slow jogging! The best part was it was a pain free run and a pain free cool down!

The Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the run was one of my favorite albums of 2022 Albert Cummings April 2022 release Ten. Now since it is a great album I think it deserves a post of its own. So until then here are four songs from Ten. Enjoy!
