First "run" post-op!!
Definitely a long loooong way to go before I reach pre-op levels, but I'm so happy to have experienced that euphoria that running brings, even if in small doses. First thing that hit me was the leg stiffness, man those muscles really atrophy. I also got pretty sweaty and out of breath, but that's also to be expected. Felt like I was pushing my luck at 1km, and I was definitely much slower than usual, but so glad to have checked off that box!!
