Keep up the outstanding work, enjoy your running and be gentle getting back into it. What a great feeling it must have been. Way to go!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-502330 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:33:49 +0000 soobee 502330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a nasty accident, so pleased you're on the mend. I must admit to being envious though, due to my condition I'm finding a brisk walk painful these days. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-502323 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:23:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 502323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all of your kind comments.</p> <p>Yes Jonesy, it was quite the tumble. I knew better than to take my eyes off the trail when doing a cross country run in rugged terrain but I just happened to look up for a minute as another runner went past and caught my toe under a tree root. With the momentum I had going my body kept moving forward but obviously my foot did not...needless to say, it wasn't pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-502287 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:46:55 +0000 Amy 502287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you are an inspiration!!!!</p> <p>Congratulations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-502280 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:39:52 +0000 Anonymous 502280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And hey, I hope you post on my "Workout of the Day" thread! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-502268 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:31:24 +0000 Anonymous 502268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-502151 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:13:33 +0000 Jonesy 502151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful, amazing story! You must have taken quite a fall! I know exactly what you are talking about re. the joy of being able to do it again. There is nothing so frustrating as feeling super motivated to run, but being thwarted by an injury! I battled tendinitis and other troubles in my ankle for about 6 years and have finally gotten it resolved so that I can run daily. I am so happy now, and I *never* take my mobility and my desire to run for granted. </p> <p>Yay for you and your fabulous, reconditioned, powerful legs :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-502117 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:53:11 +0000 taylor 502117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful news<br /> I can only imagine how empowered you are feeling!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-502041 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:09:45 +0000 Aida 502041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome!

I ran with my 13 year old tonight, who is just starting out and complains about this or that hurting...so it puts it all in perspective to know someone had to work so hard to just get to run again! And appreciates ever step I bet! You go girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-501791 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:37:15 +0000 catgirl 501791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is fantastic. You're inspiring me to get my butt in gear, since I just signed up for a half-marathon in June. My true running friends are always devastated when they can't run, unlike me who is secretly relieved. You will get back to your old self in no time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-501752 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:57:54 +0000 san 501752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-501743 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:48:20 +0000 MsMary 501743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woot!!

I'm happy for you. I'm a runner, so I think I know how hard it would be. I get frustrated when I have to skip a couple runs like I have the last few weeks with holiday travels, company, etc. </p> <p>Keep up the good work, Shannon! Soon you'll be back full steam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-501726 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:26:49 +0000 Parsley 501726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray, Shannon!

I sprained my ankle the day after a half marathon (timing, huh?) and couldn't even walk for some weeks. I *so* understand the thrill of that first run after injury. I almost cried. Hooray for you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-501722 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:22:23 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 501722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's wonderful news, Shannon. Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-ran-today#post-501718 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:19:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 501718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a terrible running accident on a cross-country trail in September 2010 which ended up with me having a dislocated knee, torn meniscus and torn Achilles tendon. It has been a long and frustrating road to recovery, resulting in a 20 pound weight gain and a significant blow to my self-esteem. I lost 75 pounds 8 years ago due in large part to running and had no intention of gaining any of those pounds back. It has been a bitter pill to swallow. However, the physiotherapy team I’ve been working with over the last year has been nothing short of stellar and assured me that they would get me back to running IF I followed their instructions to the letter and didn’t rush things. Well today at the gym at work I ran for the first time in over a year. Sure it was only for 5 minutes but it felt GREAT and did more for me emotionally than I can put into words.</p> <p>Shannon’s life lesson #862: Perseverance and Patience WILL pay off in the end!</p> <p>Just wanted to share – thanks for indulging me. </p>
