I did go! My belly made me pay for it later, but it was worth it this time. I really wanted to see if my feet would be okay for short runs.
I went a mile. I got one twinge from one foot at 1/4 mile or so, but nothing else. I was panting and wheezing by the 3/4 mile point, plus the rain had started to pour down in earnest, so I was glad to be on my way back. I'm glad my feet can go a mile. I'm disappointed, but not too surprised, that my wind is so awful. That can be fixed easily enough if I can keep exercising.
The next important test for my feet is to see whether they can run two days in a row. That's the test that made me STOP running, late last December.
I told my physical therapist yesterday that if I can run, hike, and backpack, that's all I need. I don't have to have medically perfect feet. I'm "cured" if I can do the activities I love.
I may not have to have the nerves killed!
