Today was AlterG day!

So today's pretty much been the day I've been waiting for since September 8th.  Does that day not ring a bell?  It was the day of my last run.  It's been 6 weeks (to the day, for those of you who are counting) of no running.  That's hard!  Oh, don't roll your eyes!  It really is hard for a runner to not run.  Back on topic: today was AlterG day!

This was me from about 9:30 to 10am:

Ok, maybe that wasn't me, but you get the picture!  Seriously, how cool is that thing?!  It felt so damn good to be back running again, albeit at 65% of my real self.  Yup, that's the whole thing behind why the AlterG is so special; you can literally run at a percentage of your true weight.

Over the next 4 weeks, I'll be using it 3 times each week at increasing percents.  The idea is to slowly get my bones to realize what's normal without throwing them right back into the mix at 100%!
