1mi this morning!

Yes, faithful readers, that's right: I ran a WHOLE MILE. I can tell you are cheering and throwing your hats into the air. Never before has a stunning human accomplishment moved so many.

OK, I'll be serious. My impressions:
- @#$! it is HOT OUT
- These insoles fit muuuuuuch better after I cut them down to size with a razor blade
- Much MUCH less pain in the feet this time
- I am in terrible shape

Speaking of fitness, did I say terrible? I meant abysmal. Awful. Despair-inducing, almost. But I've been in reasonable shape before, and there's no big reason my body can't do it again. What's left to me is the amount of work needed to dig that healthy state back out from under my recent inactivity.

I was talking to a coworker the other day about my need to get back into shape. He said I looked like I wasn't too out of shape. (Confusing calorie math with fitness, maybe?) I told him that if he asked my heart and lungs, and the big muscles of my legs and back, they'd tell a different story. :)

Congratulations on that. :) I'm glad your feet hurt a lot less!

A mile's pretty good considering what you have been up to -- or haven't. Of course no one needs to tell you that pushing yourself will send you back to square one. :)

Thanks! And yes, I definitely don't want to push too hard. I still don't quite understand how these nerve tumors are (or why they act like, if they aren't) an overuse injury, but I'll take my PT's and doctor's word for it that that's exactly what they act like.
