Celebrating the little things

This ITB injury has re-taught me how important it is to appreciate everything there is to appreciate about running. While I have a long way to go, I’ve come so far.
And every time something happens that hasn’t happened in a while — whether it’s mileage or a certain speed or a certain course — I’m going to take time to celebrate.

Tonight is one of those nights — I’ve ran 4 miles twice this week. It sounds so simple, but the last time I ran 4 miles at least twice in one week was Oct. 18-24, the week after I first started having ITB issues.

Things are shaping up nicely this month as I continue to focus on rebuilding a base and running with no pain. I’m on pace for a little more than 60 miles. I certainly can’t complain about that.

    YaY little things!! This is good. I can agree that an injury should teach anyone to appreciate the little things. I appreciate that I can even walk!

    I'm at about the same point right now myself, and it is pretty amazing how great it feels to be able to run 4 miles. I guess it's easy to take things like that for granted when you're not injured.
