I got the “you can try it out” from my therapist on Monday so, today, I tried it out.
No shoulder pain. No …other bad stuff. Just 30 minutes of good, non-stop running. Not so much as a tweak or an ache. It all felt good.
I’m going to give credit to years of running – especially the high-mileage year leading up to my layoff for today being so easy. It would seem that, I was born to run.

Good to hear – it is always a good feeling to get the go ahead to start running again

Welcome back to the land of the running, Mark.
Now you can forget all those strange pains, and return to chafing and body odor.

Hey I have a quick question for anyone who can answer on this blog… I have just started running in the last few months. I have great joints and no pains from running but I am looking to lose a little wieght. I have been dieting a little bit but my body doesn’t seem to be shaping up. I then came across a blog at http://www.illuminategym.com which stated that the combination of diet, cardio training and resistance training is the best way to shape your body. Is this true??? Should I add weight training to my workout regimen to change my shape??

No, Danny. That is not a blog. That’s just an advertisement for gym franchises.

I remember how good it felt to run again after my physical therapy for ITBS earlier this year. Welcome back to running!

Awesome! I felt the same way coming back to running after years of trying some other things. Welcome back.
