Hello folks and welcome to my training journal! The title of my journal comes from Bill Dellinger who was a runner and a coach. I feel like there's a ton a truth to this quote that can apply to everyone.
A little about me, I ran XC is high school and then did a decent amount of running 2010 to 2018 ish. Things got busy and I then the excuses pilled up for not running. Early into 2022 I ended up in a ER in Afib which was plenty enough to get me to start going back to a healthy life style. After a few months, I was off the medications and told I can run again by the doctors. Started c25k and after about 4 weeks I started having knee pain. Well, I have been fighting that issue for several months without getting to run. Things felt better in February and started c25k again. Nearly done with the run I feel/hear a pop sound in my knee. I tore the meniscus and it required surgery which took place this March.
This journal will cover my recovery, c25k, weight loss, and staying with running for longer runs. As the thread title says, good things come slow. Each of these steps will take time, but it will be worth it!
I look forward to interacting with anyone interested in following along. Spoiler alert, the next 5-6 weeks are going to be boring since I wont be cleared to run until late April. For the time being it's physical therapy and focusing on my diet.
