Running Resurrection

Well, for about the past two weeks I have been sitting on the bench from running. That was until I experienced a little running resurrection yesterday! It wasn't much but I'll take it. I ran a nice and easy 2 miles on my treadmill in my NEW SHOES. Yep, I finally got them! They felt great and my knee felt pretty good too.

Last Monday when I went to get my knee looked at, the doctor felt I wasn't experiencing anything too severe. I had some xrays taken and thank the Lord they looked okay. My doctor thought I had some tendons that were aggravated and a little rest, ice, anti-infammatory meds, a compression wrap and special knee exercises would be the best cure. I was doing much of that already and continued for a second week. Then yesterday, I just couldn't help myself. I had to give it a try. I was so happy to be on that treadmill! I had no pain or discomfort to my right knee after running yesterday or at all today. I'll probably try to run another 2 miles tomorrow. I hope this running resurrection lasts! I was told to take it easy, so I better be a good patient. She said if I don't I could easily aggravate and irritate the tendons again. I do think the new shoes will help a lot.

Any way, today is Easter, the most glorious day for the Christian! I have been overcome by the passion of Christ as I have reflected on His suffering, death, burial and resurrection. He did this for me. He did this for all. The grave is empty! Jesus is alive! Could anything be any better than this? Absolutely not! I pray that my life would reflect this truth by telling others what Easter is really all about!
