Running

Emotional morning. 

Since the marathon, I really haven’t been able to run. I developed some knee strain in the final 10K or so and it hasn’t fully subsided. 

I tried a 5K a couple weeks ago and was on a limp for two days. 

I went out today with a knee brace and couldn’t even get thru a mile. 

I have every negative thought rushing thru my head rn. 

You’re too old. Too heavy for this sport. Everyone tells you you’re built for lifting not running. 

Running is meditation for me. I just want to get back to it but I know I have to listen to my body. 

Will be focusing on strength and recovery for a while. 

I will get back to the road. Eventually.

Marathons are bad for you. I too ran one and had an injury a month prior. Finished. But was a struggle. 

Rest up. Take it easy. And run for the love of the game. Not the distance measure. 

(I have never run like I did prior to marathon fwiw… kinda sad)

I’m glad I did. I’ll never be a navy seal. But I e run a marathon. 

(No I won’t tell you my time. 😅)

Yeah they say it’s something no one should really ever do 😆

Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏
