First Run Post-Op

Six weeks ago I had a hysterectomy. I'll feel much better since having surgery. No more back pain!! There were two uterine fibroids sitting on the back of my uterus, which was causing my back to hurt.

Today was the day I have been waiting for, for six weeks. It was a very long six weeks. Recovery sucks, plain and simple it sucks. I couldn't lift anything over 15 pounds and I couldn't bend over. For the first two weeks I basically sat in bed. I have watched a lot of TV and lots of movies.

I was hoping the weather would cooperate with me and I could run at low tide on the beach. When I woke up it was 49 degrees out and windy. That's just too cold for me to run on the beach. I'm a Florida girl anything below 65 is cold.

I ended up walking one mile on the treadmill to warm up, then I put on a long sleeved shirt grabbed my dog and we went for 1.14 mile run!

It felt great!! Absolutely no pain in my back!! I ran slow and tried not to over do it. After getting home, I still felt great so I got on the treadmill for another 1.25 miles!! After running I did my 15 min yoga video. I'll run again tomorrow before I get on a plane to Paris!
