I tried to run today. Running two days in a row is an important test, I told myself.
I got maybe twenty paces before I knew I would have to turn back. I walked and stretched and hopped a little bit, deceiving myself, but I was being foolish and I knew it. I galloped home, putting full weight only on the foot that wasn't currently hurting.
I'm not sure quite how to compare it, but this may mean I have made no progress whatsoever. I couldn't do two days in a row in December, nor can I now.
Ah well. I'll see what the physical therapist makes of this. I'm glad I tried it. If I'm not "cured" I want to know I'm not cured, so I can keep talking to doctors until I am. I hold on to the hope that one day I will run again.
