Most young men feel as if they’re Superman, you may know the
feeling I’m talking about. You know when
you’re in your twenties and you feel as if you’re untouchable, unbreakable, and
unstoppable. I never felt quite like
that, I was weird I always compared myself to another Super Hero,
Wolverine. Wolverine wasn’t just known
for his retractable claws, or his bones being plated by Adamantium, his main
power was his ability to heal incredibly fast.
That’s how I always felt when I would get injured; I always seemed to
heal quickly.
Now that I’m older it takes me twice as long to
recover. To reiterate, at the end of
January I stepped in a hole at the end of a trail run and unknowingly tore a
couple of ligaments in my ankle. After a
few minutes in pain I got up and foolishly ran the last half-mile, and It
didn’t stop there, I continued to run all of February and half of March. Once the pain got unbearable I went for an
MRI and got the bad news. To sum this
up, I was out for a month and today was the first day I could run again and I
did.
I got my butt kicked, my lungs were screaming, I had
stitches (cramps) that didn’t go away until about five minutes ago, but because
of that pain I couldn’t feel any discomfort in my ankle. It was funny to hear the curious newbies say
they didn’t know I ran. At first I
looked dumbfounded at their comments, but soon I realized that I have been on
the sidelines from the start of the season, so they wouldn’t have seen me run
before. It was good to be out there
running with you all again. Thanks for
all your concerns. Next up is the Hill
Workout on Thursday and then hopefully my 9th consecutive Broad
Street Run.
Joining me for my first run back were 22 Speedsters:
Bharminder, Tim, Rob, Joe H, Paul, Brian, Maria, Kevin,
Cory, Steve, Gabrielle, Lindsay, Neil, Rod, Sharon, Allyson, Glenn, Alex Cohen
(First Timer! Welcome!), Joe Gorberg (First Timer! Welcome!), and making their
first appearance’s this season Haydee Lowry, Christa Cleeton, and John O’Brien (Welcome
Back!).
