The Comeback Starts NOW !!

Well its official, the comeback has begun.

Today i ran - ok jogged - for the first time since my accident. It wasn't pretty - i have to admit. My form and stride length looked like many of the 16+ hour finishers in Hawaii after swimming, biking, and cramping at about mile 20 !! As amazing as it is to be back running, given how poor my form was before the accident, it should be interesting to see what my form looks like in 6 months.

As usual, i probably over did it, and will pay for it tomorrow. But regardless it was definately worth it. So despite my overwhelming fear of my hip snapping off mid stride I managed to run a 6 times 5 on and 2 off on the treadmill at a blistering 13:45 pace. Thats about a 7 hour marathon !! Well I guess it can only get better from here.

This is about how I felt by the end of my 50 minute JOG !!
