When I started, I decided to run every other day at the maximum. I am in my forties, and I have done a few not so good things to my body over the years. Carpel tunnel in the left hand, tendinitis in the right. Heavy lifting with both the farm animals and greenhouse plants. Raking blueberries on my knees for hours and then leaning over a blueberry winnower belt for more hours. A couple of decades working on concrete floors in various retail venues. The first time I threw my back out I was clipping a rose for farmer's market the next day. After spending several hours looking up at the sky I realized I probably had damaged my back when Charby had tripped the previous day and I pulled her up.
So I am a bit cautious about damaging myself. But today the light went on. Running yesterday helped today's run greatly. I felt looser sooner. My time for the first mile was the best time I have had all summer for that particular mile. Thinking that I will try two days on and one off for awhile and see how that goes.
