Runner Rehab

Managed to drag myself out of bed early and go to the park in an effort to get back into shape after days and days of doing nothing because of this attack of fibro. At first I thought I'd walk about 3K, but then I decided to run one block, walk another, to complete the distance, and it felt great.

All this time I have had my throat in my mouth because a lady I met at the Houston airport said she had had to run like crazy to catch a plane and wound up with a stress fracture; at the slightest twinge of my left foot, my mind went back to her remarks and my dash through the same airport. However, if I had really injured my foot it would hurt a lot more than this, and the pain wouldn't go away as I run, so I am going to check off that worry and forget about it.

By the way, virtual pal Wendy, be careful with toads. They exude a poisonous substance on their skins which can kill a dog if the canine mouths the toad a lot. Our quinta is toad city, so we really have to make sure our dog does not attempt to pick one up.
