Notes

SO frustrated with my fracking foot. Turns out I have apparently sprained a toe. And sprains, of course, are painful, but I can't make it worse by running on it. Not gonna lie, this cross train day was an enormous mental challenge. To add insult to injury, I got stuck on the broken eliptiGO, and I was close to tears at several points because I'm just so angry about this stupid foot and I'm nervous about the 5k and I feel like a freaking baby because for Pete's sake, it's a TOE, and it's just pain. I need to get over myself and get my head screwed on straight. It's so hard to be positive when I'm not running. I also feel like I'm complaining to everyone and I hate myself for it.

This is from today’s post by Lucy Bartholomew (10/10 recommend checking her out she took 3rd in Western States 100 last year is just a really cool gal). She sprained her ankle a little while back and is just now starting to run again.

“Is never really had an injury until January 1 when I rolled my ankle. That’s pretty lucky to go so long non stop. I feel like that rock was out there for a reason- a tap on the shoulder to say ‘hey girl, let’s take a break’. It was hard at first, I had written...

... my goals and training out and was ready to set the tone for 2019. Life happened. These moments create strength- they refill your gratitude cup and balance you out. Every time I look down at my shell of a body I can’t help but say ‘hey girl, what you can do it amazing’”

Shes also Australian so reading it in her accent makes it 10x better

As much as they suck, I think injuries are an important part of the running process. It makes us slow down and remember all the little things we have started to take for granted. I know you’re cross training hard and continuing to build your fitness, so when you come back off of this I don’t think you’ll see any backwards progress, just more gratitude for this amazing sport and your body’s ability to do it. Throughout the whole thing we’re all right here- 🎶 dying for you 🎶
