Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Progress is slow and sometimes backwards. I saw my therapist again, and it seems in addition to the nerve problems I have a hip pointer that needs to heal as well. Many people ask how this happened and I asked as well - but that is the million dollar question. I really do not care, I am more interested in a return time to running, but that is cloudy as well - 6-9 months is still the out look.

AM- 2 miles, cold and rainy. First run in 10 days. Slow, some pain. Felt fine after and that is the goal of my therapist, run limited and feel fine, instead of going further and feeling pain all day. Happy to get out though- maybe I can string something together. Hope everyone is well!

2 Miles. Still trudging. Still not allowed to do more than 2, still not allowed to bike, still not allowed to use an elliptical. However, life is good and I am slowly coming along. A month ago it hurt to run faster than a 9 minute mile. I know my running base is shot and my speed probably as well, but I was able to run these 2 in 15 minutes and it really did not hurt much and recovery was fast so I see progress. I really hope my PT will let me scale up some soon. Thanks everyone for the kind words, I hope to be around more!
