Plan of Attack!
I am now more determined than ever to do the half marathon in Myrtle Beach in October. The doctor has said that I am not allowed to run for 6 weeks post surgery, but that I can walk as much as I can tolerate. So I am determined to walk every day - adding a little bit more distance to what I'm doing every day. Yesterday I was able to get in just under a mile. For my birthday this year I got new running shoes and I finally pulled them out yesterday and tried them out. It is still a bit exhausting for me. Doc had cautioned me that I would start to feel better physically pretty quickly because of the laparoscopic surgery, but that inside there was still quite a bit of adjusting happening as a result of my body getting used to having just one kidney. So I get tired really easily right now. But as I said - I'm determined to still do the half marathon in October. So once I get to the point of being able to run in late July I will have to get very serious about my training plan in order to have my mileage up for that race.

You can do it, girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI can soooo HAPPY that you are doing so well. I wish I lived in NC so we could train together. That's my next goal and it's hard to motivate myself to run. ;-)
