Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
I have an amazing friend who I first met at my local running club. Even though I haven’t been able to run she kept in contact with me when I was recovering and rehabbing from surgery. Eventually she joined me for wright lifting workouts at our gym and continues to do so. Lucky for me she’s also a certified running coach who has also made come backs from injuries. She gets me.
This morning was monumental. My friend lead me on my first “run” in over 3 years. Really it was a walk/run but let’s focus on the running part. Yay me! For years now I have had visions of this day being super emotional and that I’d cry tears of happiness when I could run again but l was unexpectedly subdued. I wonder if the emotions will hit me at another time. Maybe at yoga or while meditating. Being stripped of the ability to do my favorite thing (Yes, I enjoy running.) for years and now being able again should be an amazing rush of emotion of all kinds. It HAS to hit me. I’m waiting. I know the emotions are there. When they will pour out I do not know.

I had kept a blog in the distant past called Found Myself Running. When I no longer “found myself running” my blog fizzled away into the depths of the internet. Unfortunately, I found myself injured and under the knife instead. 3 surgeries in 3 years to be exact. It’s been over three years since my last run. It was my mom’s birthday on December 27, 2017 when I went out for what was at the time a short 6 mile run. After that run I was toast. I didn’t know it at the time but severe hip and knee cartilage damage would need to be fixed. “Surgified,” as I lovingly like to call it.
So I find myself here blogging once again and in a strange yet coincidentally way I’ve just been cleared by my surgeon to ease back into running. So that must give me clearance to begin blogging again too. Well here I am anyhow embarking on both of these and maybe picking up where I left off 3 plus years ago. |
