Running for the first time

Today I went for a run for the first time in at least 6 months. I love running and being active but it is very hard to do when I am in debilitating pain. As some of you know, I have had to quit my all star cheerleading due to endo. It has been apart of my life for 10 years and is the greatest sport I've ever done. (Yes a sport!) it really kept me in shape and since I stopped I lost a lot of muscle mass which is hard for me to face since I have not been this out of shape in many years. I've always been an active child that's always on the go, but endo has prevented me from doing that. This morning I woke up feeling great and decided to take advantage of it by going on a run. Physical activity is great for endo and can help reduce pain. Running is just my personal favorite way to exercise. I ran for about a mile. I didn't want to over do it since it has been awhile. It felt great to be able to run again!
