Finally back at running again after over 2 months hiatus due to heel spur on my right foot. 5 miles but slow pace. Thank you Jesus for your healing blessings 🙏 #runningagain #saturdaymorningrun #5milerun #runningkauai #firstrunintwomonths (at Poipu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM9NOeBjNIt0cJs6xqM8dx4VQRxXzqVu-NgeTw0/?igshid=zn8rdz23pd3e

Things that 2020 taught me unrelated to covid: -It is a blessing to be able to walk straight, to be able to stand or lay down without pain, to be able to stand up straight, to be able to move freely, to be able to walk painlessly, etc 🙏🏻 Almost a year ago now I injured my back pretty bad. I went from being able to run 13 miles on a whim to barely being able to walk up the block. I was hunched over and leaning to my left side for weeks. The pain went all the way down my right leg. I even had to walk with a cane for a few weeks to help. Physical therapy and walking has been such a blessing. I had to give up running and weight lifting. 😿 I haved learned the importance of core strength and getting movement safely in other places. I finally started cycling because I couldn’t run. There is a positive in every negative situation if you look for it. 🖖🏻 Today, I was able to go on my second run outside (last week was the first) since my injury and I feel strong and blessed to be able to move again pain free. 🥰😇 #countyourblessings#runningagain#movingfree#freebird#recovery#builtforthis https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpUSsDD-ak/?igshid=zialg1n78ojc

Today is officially Day One of a dedicated effort to “get running again”. Day One is always the easiest. I had challenges AND inspiration. Physically i knew i had to “take it easy” as my Aunt ChaCha would say. I also knew if i put it off to a warmer time of the day chances are high i would enjoy a procrastination cocktail 🍹 instead. My running team showed up on time waiting outside for me. It was 20 degrees. The sun was peeking out over the conifers so i put on a few layers and headed out. This was my Maiden Voyage on what I am calling The Bent Tree Loop which is 2.5 miles. The elevation was 7200 to 7500 which made it hard to breathe so i took breaks. . Overall it was tough. My butt literally froze. My pants were not 20 degree weather pants. My 2 buffs were perfect and my beanie too. Gloves too much. Four layers in the torso was great. Both of my knees were fine even on the uphill climbs. . Now i am thawed out and so pooped! This is what I love when exercising out of my comfort zone. . #monumentCo #runningAgain #stemCellProcedureStillGreat #VenkateshMovva #day1 #personalChallenge with Coach Randy @shoe1214 @runningCoachRandy https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaWbMvgfu9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ecy1fjm35l9r
