5K Run

Tomorrow I plan to run in the 5K Run at the middle school here in Laramie. I have been training for a little over a month now. I just run around the park right next to my apartment. For the first couple of weeks I was only running about a mile and a half. Now I am up to 3 and half miles. I use to run cross country when I was in high school and was a middle distance and long distance running in track in high school also. It feels great to be back and running after the car wreck. In the car wreck I broke 2 levels of my back, and also broke and neck in two levels, and messed up my right thumb. I had surgery on my back, neck, thumb, and also was consitently going to the doctor for what seemed like forever. I was in a back brace for 4 months, in a neck brace for 2, and had a cast on my right arm for I think 3 or 4 month. About 8 months after the wreck and after I was done with all the surgeries I tried to run on the tread mill some, but I was still in enough pain that I couldn't go very long. Now it seems like the running and exercise helps my back. I still feel some soreness but other then that I feel great and in shape again. After the car wreck I can remember thinking before they made me get out of bed in the hospital and walk I would never be able to walk, run, or do the I had always done ever again. Here I am almost two years in September I am going to run a 5K run. Wish me luck, hopefully I don't break a leg doing it. ( This picture is me running in high school my senior year. Which has been two year now since I have been out of high school. How the time flies by.)
