A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who’s beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

tentative “first” steps

Aaron and I got in another short 2 mile run today after work. It was beautiful warm day for a run and I loved every minute of it.

We are kind of funny right now with our tentativeness…

Aaron: “How’s the ankle?”
Mark: “It’s ok but still kind of awkward. How are the knees?
Aaron: “Same as your ankle”.

So, here we are once again beginning to run – slowly becoming more confident with our ankles and knees. We are like a couple of war weary soldiers healing our wounds and getting back onto the battlefield. I think we’re leaning on each other a bit. I stole your “leaning” word Jeff. It just seems to fit. I hope that’s ok witcha!

It all seems more than appropriate.

I am glad things are going well. A “beautiful warm day” in Canada-in the winter?? How is that possible? :)

Warm day? Hmmm. I completely understand the tentativeness. It’s great as you build confidence and the runs gradually increase in length again.
