First Post Mastectomy Run

I ran up until my mastectomy on February 20, 2013. My surgeons originally said I could probably start running at three months, but my increased recovery was exponential each week. My doctor then modified the plan and said I could run at 6 weeks post op. For me this 6 week mark was yesterday and I took advantage of a beautiful Irish foggy morning to go out on a run with a friend, her two daughters and my son. I got to run one mile which I was so grateful for. It felt amazing! I'm so happy to be running now.
