I knew I was over it for a little but and wanted to hit the point where I looked FORWARD to my run, not dread it or feel "meh" about it. <br /><br />Starting over now as part of the #RWRunStreak has made it hard, but it feels good to get up and going again. Also not satisfied with pace, but I like just getting out the door - even if it is only one mile at this point. <br /><br />xox Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444420379270376225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2785887441872369030.post-10853765755662132562016-06-15T15:21:15.305-07:002016-06-15T15:21:15.305-07:00I think that, in general, we've become almost ...I think that, in general, we've become almost unhealthily "goal oriented" as a society...we rarely do anything simply for the joy of doing it...it always seems to be a means to an ends...in the pursuit of *something*...I think maybe, out of habit, when we don't have a specific goal or purpose, we misinterpret the freedom as being aimless and feel like we're faltering...<br /><br />I'm not saying that I know *how* to recapture the joy of running just to run...but I think that's sort of the ticket. Over the last year I switched my script...I stopped focusing on trying to be a stronger, faster runner...and instead started focusing on just being a runner...and on running with my tribe...no matter the speed or distance. Best decision I ever made.<br /><br />Love ya, kid (in that weird, "I know you through social media but feel like I know you in real life" kind of way)!

When I got cleared in March I just ran. No goals, just moving forward. I JUST started training again the beginning of June. Just listen to your body. It has to be telling you something. Enjoy the journey, your legs will come back Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593875987638360434noreply@blogger.com
