Running only to save your life.

Wow this journey of being injured has been a long one with a road much bumpier than I had hoped. A few weeks ago my PT let me know that she doesn't feel like running is the right exercise for me. Her exact words: "Running only to save your life" I thought that running was saving my life. Turns out that's not what she meant. Running from bears and burning buildings was the life saving activities that she was speaking of. I've been feeling better and optimistic about my recovery. Less pain, less swelling. I had a little vacation to Las Vegas a little more walking than I had been doing, but with it came a bit of a flare up. I've been resting since returning home, no gym, no bare feet. Today I returned to the orthopedist. Hopeful for a release maybe back to bare foot piyo, but instead a prescription for steroids, and a hope that things would get better with a small threat of surgery to figure out why there is still pain. Trying to stay positive.
