I'm not running yet. Last Thursday I had surgery and am not yet cleared to run. That didn't stop me from getting out and walking again. On Friday and Saturday I walked a mile... very slowly!
Today was my first day back to work and I couldn't wait to walk when I got home. I didn't know how far I'd go at first but ended up walking 3 miles today. What really motivated me was when I used my watch to time my splits. By the final miles I was at around 15:30.
What I noticed was mentally I started thinking like a runner as I tried to improve on each half mile split. In that frame of mind, I was pumping arms, walking tall and keeping focused. Though I couldn't run, I began to feel like one again. Happy to being a step closer.
