Back on the road

I took the leap and stepped back out onto the road this morning.  I went for a short run to see how everything felt.  The short out and back route I took wasn't even quite a mile but I wanted to see how my shoulder held up under the different type of jarring it would get from the road as opposed to the treadmill.

It went good, but I really felt today how long it has been since I have been out on the road.  I am not upset but it is a little discouraging.  I know that a big reason for tiring so quickly is the way I have to run with my one arm planted on my side.  Running this way keeps my whole body tense the entire time so I cannot relax and get into a groove.

The time will come.....

Till next time....

    It's been a long haul for you indeed, Tim. Stay positive!! You are through the worst of it and now you can build it all back up. I'm so glad you are back.

    Be well.
