First Run

Finally got cleared on Thursday by my orthopedist to start running again and went out today to jog for the first time in four months. Okay, it's two days short of four months, but I'm rounding up. I walked a half-mile to start, then ran four quarter-mile increments between quarter-mile walks, ending with a three-quarter mile walk. In total I ran a mile out of 3 miles. It felt good and easy and after this long I'm treating like starting over. It was a nice sunny day, which helped the good mood. If my Apple Watch can be believed, my heart rate got into the low 150s on a few of the intervals. It was a great start and I'm happy to be running again.
