First day back on the pavement

I went to the hematologist yesterday and got my hemoglobin count - praise the Lord, it was 11.3!  Almost in the normal range!  Which means I was cleared to run.  So I decided to take it easy this morning and I ran a mile.  It felt pretty good.  I had a hard time breathing, but then, I am pretty out of shape.  No dizziness.  But the best thing of all is that I RAN A HILL WITHOUT STOPPING!!!  It feels like a miracle.  The last time I ran that same hill, I had to stop after about 25 yards and walk it.  I felt like I was going to pass out and die right there on the road.  And I came back home and crashed on the couch and slept for 30 min before I could even take a shower.  And then I crashed on the couch again and slept/watched 19 Kids and Counting all day.  So you see why I am so happy!  I'm on my way back!!!
