I ran today!! I decided that I have to try it eventually. I was terrified and scared. I was so worried that my leg would hurt and my dreams of the Half Marathon are gone.
I was checking the starting time of the Half this morning and on the website is a “clock” of how long till the race day, and it said 6 weeks and that woke me up. I realized that I have to try if I want to run even some part of it :).
I was super nervous when I put my running stuff on and my dog was getting excited too. I thought that it’s the best option to go out with my dog, and if my leg starts hurting I can just keep walking with him.
When the trail started I took a deep breath and take those careful first steps, all felt good. I was so happy!! I took it super easy, with the words “Listen To Your Body” like a mantra in my head and for 4 km I kept going, with some walking in between.
I feel now, that I’m back, like I got my Self back. I felt that I got my motivation back, which is amazing!
Now I have to remember to take it slowly and listen to my body, but I’m BACK and that’s the most important thing to me!!
Yay!
except that this last weekend the killer flu came back?! so, I hope I’ll be back soon(ish)… practicing my patience here 😉
