I technically began running in my mid 20s (the early 2000s), but it did not last long due to severe knee pain. I visited the doctor and everything checked out fine. The doctor’s response? Some people are just not meant for running. (I know, very motivational.)
Fast forward to the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, and I began to walk. Then, I started to run on the treadmill for about a month as a way to take advantage of my no commuting time while working from home. After the first few weeks of treadmill running, I started to run outside. At the beginning of my journey, knowing years ago that I injured myself, I built my fitness slowly.
By April 2020, I was running distances between two to four and a half miles every day, for a total of more than 100 miles for the month. I was hooked.
In May, I began to ramp up mileage even more, with a long run of seven miles and a total of 134 monthly miles. For the following months, I ran 176 miles, then 274 miles. And in August, I got to 158 miles... before I injured myself. I strained an abductor muscle and couldn’t run at all.
