Running Again

As this month marks the 1 year anniversary of my tibia stress fracture, I had a strong desire to resume running. My pace was nothing to boast of but it felt great running/walking for about an hour. The Albuquerque Open Space provided the perfect terrain, undulating dirt/gravel trails, and the sunny, 65 degree weather was invigorating. I'm still a bit nervous about the fracture and whether it is real or my imagination, still feel a tingling from time to time in the fracture area; however, i'm determined to not let fear keep me from being active.

This week in Albuquerque worked out well for several reasons, not the least of which were the opportunities to hike, bike, and run!  Less fun, but essential, were the opportunity to get the Airstream and truck serviced and cleaned and to refill propane. With everything now serviced, repaired, and clean, I'll head southwest tomorrow making my way towards Sedona, AZ.

The Nature Trail in Albuquerque Open Space. Great place to run, hike, and bike.

Should have taken "before" photos to appreciate how clean the truck and AS are now. Driving on dirt/gravel roads in the SW is a dirty business:)
