This morning I went out for my first post-op run. I took it very, very slow. I haven't walked much or done anything like this since before the surgery. In fact, the last run I posted here was clear back on September 17th! Part of that was just that I was spending more time on biking and triking. Still, it's been a while and I definitely felt that in my legs. Since I was moving so slowly it wasn't as much work for my lungs. One of these days I want to get a Garmin GPS watch with a heart-rate monitor so that I can track that as well. I'm using Endomondo on my phone right now, but the watch would make a lot of this easier and can sync with the site.
I didn't do this run barefoot! Cold, wet and dark doesn't make for a good combination. I did wear my Vivobarefoot trail running shoes, which I like for conditions like this. As conditions improve I'll work more barefoot runs into my rotation.
In any case, this is a start. I think I'm going to continue alternating exercise forms, and gradually get into shape!
