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 know a lot of people who are runners and it's simply a world I cannot understand, but can certainly appreciate! I do hope you continue to build your strength and get back to where you want to be with your running. Good luck!

I would guess that those mirror neurons in your brain just enjoyed the run as if no time has passed whatsoever. But, trust me, I'm not a neuroscientist!

Wow. I had to read this twice to think about the reasons that the rush of emotions would not come to you. This brief slice has left me with so many questions and you've inspired me to do the same in my work - leave them wanting more!

Congratulations on your first run!!! How great to have a friend and mentor to help you on your journey. She sounds like someone who will push you when you need it, but have you ease off when necessary.
