As I have not been able to run for two months now, and am still not 100% pain free following my foot surgery, I have been getting somewhat depressed about it. I am trying to stay focused on what I CAN do (swimming, cycling, short slow walking, arm weights) but I am realizing that I definitely had unrealistic expectations following my surgery. In fact, I thought I was going to be a wedding coordinator the Saturday following my Thursday sugery!

Needless, to say, we found someone else to do it! I am hearing now from different sources that it will likely be a year before I am back where I really want to be. I just thought that getting the surgery done would take care of all pain (and I never factored in pain from the surgery itself!) I thought I would be back on my feet within two months. By this I mean I thought I would be running again.

So I will keep focusing on what I can do and try to remember to take it slow so that I can eventually get to where I want to be with no other problems developing from not being patient!
