Oh, Happy Day!

Guess what I did today?!

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

I RAN 5 MILES!! Yaaaaaayyyy!

This is a big deal for me. After encountering severe knee pain during the last 5 miles of my marathon, I was worried this injury would sideline me for a long time. A similar thing happened during my marathon last year and it took me 5 months to get back to running five miles.

Since the marathon, I have been taking lots of long walks, going to yoga, and stretching and foam rolling regularly. I will probably still go see a specialist to make sure I'm doing everything I can to get myself healthy, but this run was very encouraging.

It wasn't my fastest run, but check out these splits!

• Mile 1 - 10:43
• Mile 2 - 10:49
• Mile 3 - 10:36
• Mile 4 - 10:09
• Mile 5 - 9:37

I was one happy girl.

I celebrated with a tea, and then hopped across the street for a tough 60 minute yoga class. My legs were shaking by the end!

I came home, mixed up a quick batch of vegan banana nut mini-muffins, and showered while they baked.

I also made scrambled eggs with spinach, tomato, and feta. Mmmmmm!

Aren't Sundays the best?!
