Healing

I had my gall bladder removed 2 weeks ago now. The recovery has been AMAZING! Each day is so much better than the one before it. I met with my doctor today, and he cleared me to do all of my normal activities. It's amazing how quickly the body can heal. I owe it all to my husband's wonderful care and cooking. He's the best!

Today I ran 2 miles. It felt amazing! I hadn't worked out in over a month, due to a painful gall bladder. I went to the track intending on running only 1 mile. I was a very slow start, but I got into a groove. So, at 1 mile I thought I could go until 1.5 miles. I hit 1.5 and realized I could do 2. At 2, it took me a lot to stop. I did stop so that I didn't hurt myself. It's hard to take it slow, but I know it will pay off in the long run.

I start my speed triathlon training 1 month from today. I can't wait to get back into that program. It's so motivating to see what I can accomplish. I'm excited!
