Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

First Run after Accident

It's been a week since the accident and I was really struggling to not workout. I wanted to give my body the time that it needed to recoupe from the jostling it received, but it was SOO HARD. I was so jealous of people who were out running. But today I joined in. I decided that I would take it easy and just run enough to feel good. Not push my body too hard/far.

I didn't wear a watch.
I didn't measure how far (until afterwards).
I walked when I needed to.
I stopped when it was time.

The run felt good. My body felt really heavy. Kind of like I was beginning to run after months/years of not running. I got through it. I felt good after. My body did tell me to be done before I wanted it to, but I stopped anyway. Walking the rest of the way was a great cool down.
