After a while of struggling with knee pain, I finally felt ready to run again — and it was an emotional moment.

This 7-part vlog series captures one training session that meant a lot to me: my first real run after days of discomfort, when I finally felt free to move without pain. I filmed it on March 28, 2025, the day I reclaimed a bit of myself back.

I also talk about the importance of stretching, how I’m starting my low carb routine, and the mindset shift I’m working on — staying consistent, even when it’s hard.

I recorded 7 short videos during this single run to share the key reflections and wins that marked this stage of my recovery.

Here’s what you’ll see in each short video:

1. Back to running again – I finally ran pain-free again, and I was so happy.
2. Stairs challenge – I ran up the stairs without pain — something I love doing.
3. Stretching made it possible – No pain, thanks to daily stretching.
4. The Hill – I took on the toughest part of the park and pushed through.
5. What helped me – Les Mills Stretch and Body Balance were key to my recovery.
6. Starting low carb – Now that I can train again, I want to support it with good nutrition.
7. Final thoughts – I’m grateful, focused, and committed to consistency.
