The handful of runs I've done since being cleared to workout again have been brutal. Slow and short. They require two sports bras and walking after every few minutes. Ugh! But I'll keep chipping away.Laura Payettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516037862692959349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-48981528928770830132010-06-30T17:31:20.874-07:002010-06-30T17:31:20.874-07:00You're just too fast!
