They Call it a Bruised Bone

Great news came out of my ortho appointment yesterday: No meniscus tear, just bruised bones.

THANK YOU!

And the doc didn't think I was crazy to do NYC. He said that he understood how crazy we, runners, are.

He said that bruised bones take about 6 weeks to heal. I'm sure that with a marathon mine will take longer. I'll stop running a few days if the pain gets back to the level I had two weeks ago. There's still minor pain, but barely.

And with that news, guess who went for a run last night?

I meant to go 5 to 10 minutes but once I got running turned it into 30. If you're a runner then you know that there's no way to replace that feeling that you get on the roads.

It feels nice to be back.

    1. Thanks! It was great to hear that I could run again, and even better to feel no pain like the last time I was out there.
