My body is treating me bad… misery.
My return to running the other day seems to have been premature. I’m still feeling better than I was at my low point, but I am not fully recovered, and coming back early was definitely a setback. So I’m holding off.
It’s misery. Not the pain. That really isn’t so bad. Like I said, I’m feeling better. But if I run it returns. The real anguish is mental. I miss running so much. Walking the dogs, riding my bike… those aren’t the same. And it really doesn’t help when I’m out doing one of those things–or even just driving down the street–and I see somebody who can run, who is running, doing that which I cannot.
So that’s why I’ve been quiet here and on dailymile. As much as I enjoy cheering everybody else on, sharing in triumphs and consoling when there are setbacks, it’s just too hard right now.
So hopefully I’ll be back on the road again soon, so I can get back online as well.
Until then, all the best, and thanks to everybody for their kind words!
