Did I Fail to Mention Something?


Have I failed to mention that I really miss running lately? 
 If I haven't told you lately then listen up...
I MISS RUNNING!!
 You have no idea how much miss running....
I have been spending lots of time learning to like 
 my new best friend the elliptical.
I am not very fond of my new friend, but he's
all I can count on right now.
He never lets me down.

What do I miss about running?
I miss following my training schedule.
I miss the challenge that running brings upon me.
I miss the natural high that I feel after a great run.
I miss waking up at 6:00am for a long run.
I miss being able to release stress through a great run.
I miss not being able to meet my running goals.
I miss the feeling I get in the pit of my stomach before a marathon.
I miss being able to eat whatever the hell I want and not gain a pound.

Tomorrow is probably going to be my last day of PT.
I will have to continue this healing process on my own.
I know that it is going to require a lot of patience.
I may have to sit out another race or two.

I know that I have to be patient and allow myself to heal,
BUT I CAN'T DENY IT...
I MISS RUNNING!

  5. We're in the same boat. I could have written this post myself, with the recumbent bike instead of the elliptical in the photo. Let's do some visualization--you and me, carbo-loading in Boston, the night before we make it. Maybe we should wear T-shirts to that dinner showing our respective machines with Xes through them. Persevere, my friend!
