Tomorrow will be 3 weeks exactly since I last ran, biked, hiked or did any activity involving using leg muscles other than walking through the parking lot. Tomorrow I am going for my first test run. I feel overwhelmed and unsure, and even afraid of what the outcome will be. The problem with tendinitis is that you don't see it and you don't feel it, it's not a broken bone that is clearly visible on X-ray and either painful or not, even if I run 5 pain free miles tomorrow I don't know if the pain is not back when I run 6 miles the day after, or if I walk on gravel, or when I toe the line of White River 50 in July (that I still hope for). The summer is here, and I haven't been to the mountains for the last two months, and it's killing me. I still have time to train well for Run Rabbit Run 100 in September, but I must be able to start training tomorrow.
