Long Two Months

What I do requires risks, I take them every time I workout and race...unfortunatly this time the hurdle won.

The past 2 months for me have been extremely difficult for me. I have, in my opinion, done very well to stay positive and look forward. Best thing I have found I can do is to not think about where I should have, could have been right now. With an injury like the one I have, I need to first heal properly and then begin to set a plan in motion to get back on the track.

Since my injury, I have been to many doctors, had surgery, and begun the beginning stages of physical therapy at Health Quest Physical Therapy in Lake Orion.

It is exciting to get back to doing at least a little bit of movement related activities. Therapy is still nothing strenuous, just simple exercises to get strength and mobility back. I have instructed my therapist to be very strict about what I can and cant do...I tend to want to go all out if I am told I can do things again.

I have not set any type of schedule or timeline for returning to running as of now. Of course I have some hopeful times I would like to be able to do certain things but that will be determined by listening to my body. I will have a lot of strength to get back all around, not just in my injured leg.

Hoping for a smooth recovery, and I will hold myself back at the appropriate levels as I go.

I can't wait to be able to run again and be at the track, but first comes the ability to walk.
