19 minutes run/walk on treadmill (jogged 9, walked 10) - 1.4 miles

Saw the doctor today and got clearance to start running. Only a 5% chance of re-herniating the disc. Foot numbness may be permanent. Surgery and injections are both bad options. P/T may help with education on how to keep back/core safe and strong.

Canal Banks - 18:25

My first "real" run in many months. After getting clearance to start running, I did 4 days of some jog/walks of about 20 minutes to ease back into it. Today I ran the whole way. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. For now, it feels great, especially on a nice spring afternoon.

Earlier in the day I waked about 2 miles easy on the greenbelt with Emily and Nica.
