Jeremy Renneris up and running.
The actor, 52, shared anInstagram storythat showed him lightly jogging on a Boost Microgravity Treadmill — his first time jogging since hishospitalization for a snowplow accident on Jan. 1.
“First attempt at a light jog with weight assisted lift for the broken tibia,” he captioned the video. “Pain is progress for me,” he added with a smiling emoji.

“It’s a new activity’s right?” he says in the video to a friend who is filming. “It’s a new movement that I’m not used to… Walking and jogging are very different muscle groups.”
“The leg’s still broken, thank goodness for the titanium,” he says jokingly from the special treadmill, which allows users to de-load up to 80% of their weight.
A few weeks ago he posted a video of the evolution of his progress, starting with using a walker for balance and ending with him walking unassisted.
“My PT made this for reference and to remember, you cannot walk unless you take one step at a time! #onefootinfrontoftheother,” he captioned the video.
“My daughter inspires me…what inspires you?” he wrote alongside photos of the hand-written messages from Ava. “She leaves me post-it notes all over to keep me going!!”
Renner noted to PEOPLE on the red carpet that the event served as his “first time to kind of get out of my bed and out of rehab and, you know, to be on my feet and be out in the world. It’s intense, you know, for me, it’s a lot, but it’s a step in the direction I want to be going, right? And this is exactly what I want to be doing and exactly where I want my life to be right now.”
