Today I am officially one week into my stress fracture recovery. That means 1 more week in the shoe and then I can start walking. Who knew I would be so excited about walking? Today I used the elliptical at the gym for the very first time. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was able to get a good sweat on and while it wasn't the same as running - it wasn't too shabby either.
Toward the end of my workout this woman came and started running on the treadmill. I could see over her shoulder that she was running at a 5 and my first thought was "even she can run at a 5." But then that thought immediately changed to "I want to be her." When I have become that woman of a certain age, I still want to be running. So I will continue to swim, elliptical and bike. Then in a few more weeks I will walk and then run/walk. But when I am her age I will still.be.running.

ReplyDeleteOh, I sooo hope I win! Running...wow, so much here. I guess my favorite thing about running is that it gives me a peace that nothing else gives me and it allows me to go to a part of my spirit that I might otherwise never go...the part of me that challenges me to dig deeper, be better, love myself fully, and embrace all that I am capable of and so much more. I've learned so much about myself and life from running/through running. Great question here! I might be thinking on this one for a few days.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about running, is that I can do it practically anywhere I am (even standing in place!) and feel a quick burst of accomplishment - whether it is for 2 minutes or 2 hours, I can just thank god that I am able to move...I have been laid up twice with ACL repairs and I know the pain of watching others and laying with you leg in slings, casts, braces...it isn't fun, but you appreciate your abilities, like running, even more when you have to sit out for a little.
