Up and running...kinda

The great news is I'm up and running again! Rehab went beatifully and I'm so thankful for Dr. Maloy and her team for getting me back! The IT band syndrom is gone and the soft tissue injury to my hamstring is almost (completely) healed! I'm being very careful by running at a super easy pace and increasing mileage slowly! But it sure does feel good to be back!
However, I wasn't off the injured list for long... During a Friday morning run before work I totally biffed it and went down tripping over my feet and skinned both my knees and elbows! "Seriously, did I just do that" I thought? I quickly got up, brushed myself off, took a quick look around to make sure no one was looking at me and continued to run home! Yes, I had blood running down my knees and shins the entire way back - but I'm hoping this just made me look tough! ;-)
Luckily, these scabs haven't sidelined me and I've still been out jogging -- but they're awfully unattractive! Jeesh!
