Starting Over

It's been some time since I have blogged. Over 10 months. I have not run in 7 months. I injured my hip training for my 2nd Marathon. I was on a 17 mile run when I had a jolting pain in my groin area which stopped me dead in my tracks. After weeks of X-rays, MRI's and DR. visits, I was finally diagnosed with a labral tear and FAI impingement. I underwent surgery the 3rd week of August. I finished up my physical therapy and finally am starting to feel like I can get active again. I have gaine 30+ lbs. since my injury and probably lost all or most of my physical fitness level. I have been given the okay to start using an elliptical and I will be starting a walk/run program after the first of the year.
I am sad that after all of my hard work with weight loss, marathon running etc., that I am right back at the beginning..... But as the picture says, strength shows not only in the ability to persist, but the ability to start over. Here I go.....
