back track


I’m one of those people who are not good at being sick. I will try to run 4 miles while I’m coughing and hacking and then get frustrated when I don’t beat my time. This is not translating well to having a broken back. I feel like I have so many better things to do than sit around in this brace. I think it makes it worse that I am not in pain and I don’t feel weak so I have it in my head that I’m still capable of doing all the things that I used to. Not the case.

So basically I have to constantly remind myself that 1.) it is temporary and 2.) I’m beyond lucky that it didn’t end up worse.

64 more days in this brace; it’s time to suck it up and force myself to have patience. I’ll be running again before I know it.
