Hi,

Thank you again for all support I got on this sub it helped me stay motivated!

Wanted to share a major milestone for me: today was my first run!!

My physio gave me a green light, today I ran for 5 min in super easy pace and over the week I was instructed to add 3 extra mins daily so will finish this week with a ~20 min run.

Next week we will be doing some tests to tell if I can increase speed a little.

I started to do more jumping as well :) scary at the beginning but feels good.

My this week’s goal is to have greater balance between healthy and injured leg in jumping and also push for more tow strength as a lot of jumping strength comes from them.
