The Best News....EVER!

I just got back from my last (boo hoo wah) doctors appointment with Hot Doc spine surgeon.  It has been 2.5 months since my surgery and he told me today.....

THAT I CAN RUN AGAIN!!
(in 2 weeks)

For those who read this and personally know me in my real non blogging life...you KNOW how much this means to me.  It seems like all I ever talk about is running and how I wish I was able to run again.  Well guess what...NOW I CAN!

When I heard this news I was so very surprised since a few months ago the same doctor told me I could never run again...weird (what a waste of tears that news was).  Today, however, I did not remind him that he said that.  :)

I am so so soooo very happy and I can not wait to get to the gym and start running!  As everyone knows...I have gained quite a bit of weight these past few months.  Total bummer.  It seems like almost all of my hardcore determination and motivation went out the window the day I couldn't run any longer. I am so excited to have it back. Now I can actually see my progress on a physical level!!  See that I can run longer, farther and faster.  Such a high.  So EXCITED to have it back.

I did promise him I would give him another 2 weeks or so before I would start running again.  Technically I should wait until my 3 months post surgery date.  I am going to try my hardest to stick to that promise...but no promises.  Hahahaha.  I'm a mess.

A HAPPY MESS! :D
