Running - 12 Days After Surgery

I ran!!! Less than two weeks after my surgery & I was back to running, albeit pacewise I was far from crushing it.
Yesterday during my November Project - SD PR Day, I showed up with the intention of walking and cheering people on. Uhh so yeah, that didnt happen. I've been lucky to have had an incredible easy & pain free recovery. And yesterday, 12 days after surgery, I found myself running again. Not at the one month mark, but less than two weeks after surgery.
I was scaled back and did so at a pace where I wasn't pushing myself. But I was running & I wasnt hurting or running through pain. It was the best feeling ever.
This surgery is by far the best birthday gift I ever gave to myself. And the tears I had while running yesterday, happy tears. For so long I didnt know if I'd ever know what it feel like to run and not turn to pain meds or break down in tears after. This opens up so many opportunities for me. This was my goal. I have it, but it doesnt stop there. There is so much more in the works now. My story is not meant to be impressive, rather I'd hope you'd find space somewhere in there to take back control of your own story.
