6 Weeks Post Surgery - Los Angeles, Denver & PRs

It's been three weeks since my last post. Life has been busy. I am now 6 weeks post surgery and I am making it a point to get back to my life and my focus on fitness as soon as possible.
While Im not technically cleared to start lifting again until April 20th, I've kept myself busy in many other ways because being not that impressive doesn't mean not pushing yourself anyway.
In the last three weeks I have joined November Project Los Angeles for a Running Tour of China Town, November Project Denver for an epic Easter Egg Fitness Hunt, returned to November Project SD Stairs and... I have crossed Colorado off my 50 States Running List by doing back to back 1 Mile & 10k Races. Even at altitude, I was able to hit a PR on my 10k time.
I had a friend visit from Australia, I got to reunite with one of my boys Jacob in Denver who I hadn't seen in 10yrs. I have regained my love for running. I have suffered from altitude sickness and a cold. All that said I still got my workouts in.
My plans for whats next are awesome.
Returning to Performance 360 in 2 weeks, running The North Face Endurance Challenge Series Marathon Relay in September, more races and introducing calisthenics elements into my training. If it scares me, it only makes me want to do it more.
I would have never felt confident enough to take these steps in my former body. I'm alive.
I still don't feel anything I've done up until now is all that impressive, whether it be my 140+ lb weight loss, my running achievements this far, my focus on fitness, my desire to STILL be love in amd through all I do, still not that impressive. But stay tuned, I'm just getting started.
