Cautiously Optomistic

So for all of you out there who have ever been injured one of the hardest parts is coming back after an injury and being cautiously optimistic about your circumstance.  I was given the green light to run on July 14th and still not feeling quite right I waited a week, tried and walked home.  Given the green light for a second time, I tried again a few weeks later and made it through a couple of days only to walk home again.  It has been about 4 weeks since my last attempt and I think this time could go well.  I have been working with Mathew Nark for a little over 2 weeks and see some improvement in many of my movement patterns.  My back/SI joint on my right side is feeling a whole lot better, but I still have so many problems on my left side.  Nothing happens overnight and I have to work on my patience a bit.  I am super excited to get back into running again, but at the same time have this fear deep down in my gut with all the 'What If's?"  I am going to look at the rest of the week with my glass half full and try to fear less and hope more.  Confident and hopeful that I am on the right path with fixing some long time problems in my movement patterns.  Over the next few weeks I will go into a little more detail with some of the things that I am working on with Mathew Nark and maybe even give you a few new things to put into your daily routine.
