So as I mentioned yesterday, today I decided to run for the first time since busting up my leg.

Super
SUPER
painful.

Especially at the start. Even after taking a few ibuprofens. It was like my whole upper leg was on fire for the first several miles, and that only diminished slightly as I kept running. And trying to run on any sort of uneven surface (like the back road in Bowness, which has a decently steep slant to it)? OH MY GOD PAIN.

But I was able to do it. I was able to run 16 miles.

Not sure how much pain I’ll be in tomorrow, but at least I was able to do it.

This is going to be a long, painful recovery.
