It's been almost a week since I ran the Marine Corps Marathon, and this is the first time I've been able to run. I ran a whole mile! Yes, I know how tiny that sounds after running a marathon last weekend.
I've been taking it easy this week while my toe has been healing from the blister that formed under my toenail during the marathon. Friday (yesterday) was the first day I was able to put on real shoes comfortably. So being able to wear shoes again today and actually run in them was a win.
At the end of the mile my toe was still fine, but I was starting to feel my knee so I didn't push it any farther. I've been doing exercises this week to strengthen the weak muscles around my knee so I can get back to 100% again. In the meantime, I will build up mileage very slowly and not overdo it.
