Some progress

I have had a lot of struggle and progress in between in the last 5 months. Nobody really knew how long this injury would take to deal. It's still in progress, but needless to say, this last week has yielded pretty promising results regarding longevity and terms of low pain.
21 minutes of running I've reached with my 10 minutes warmup, 10 minutes cool down. Now, the return to run program with 4 minutes here and there did not give me the old training feeling of going for at least 20-40 minutes.
The feeling of being challenged pretty much and feeling what it is to have your body ultimately fatigued. (Or perhaps not so much fatigued). Well, I mean to say that my body has re-adjusted to a different level of fitness.
I knew that. :)
Alas, it has been a very long time since I felt like I could challenge my body and still remain safely healing all the while. I perhaps have reached a happy-medium place where I can run enough to increase my fitness again, and continue on the road to recovery. Blessed recovery.
Although I have been waiting for the other shoe to drop, I think I am gaining confidence in my body's healing as I draw towards late August here. At least the last few phases have yet to worsen my conditions. It has been a long slow process and I may just be reaching the beginning of my recovery training.
And when I say training, I mean more than 4 minutes at a time.
