Cool Run

This morning was cloudy, humid, wet but much cooler than it has ever been this summer due to Hurricane Harvey.  It didn't hit us at all, but we did get a lot of rain the last three days.  Today I ran with my hubby and decided to do 4 miles.  I'm still scared to run outside because I have never broken a bone in my body EVER and when I got this stress fracture on my left foot....well, I was scared I would feel that pain again.  My doctors told me to run/walk a couple of runs once I get started and build up my mileage slowly.  No hills at all!  I started with Eddie and was able to run 2 miles nonstop, but super slow.  I knew I was holding Eddie back and just told him to keep going after the two mile mark because I was going to walk/run the last two miles.  I felt a little soreness after the two miles so took it easy.  It doesn't matter how slow I run, I'm just happy to be running again!  Yes, it's a little disappointing that I can run my normal 8 min. pace per mile, but I don't ever want to get another fracture again!  I have to think of the big picture.  For me, I'll run till I die :)  I hope!!
