When I decided to go to London and not rung the WDW half marathon I gave up on myself a little bit. Following the 15K I gave up on myself all together. I am angry, frustrated, and sad that it took finishing one race and not having another in the line up to make me go back to the person I was before I started training. During training I was brilliant, vibrant and fun to be around, I cared about my appearance and was becoming happy with the way I looked. I ate my veggies 4 servings a day minimum and 4 fruits a day maximum. I glowed. It seems what I have done in my training and becoming a better person has inspired others. Some of you know my sister started a health and fitness blog and is becoming a cleaner eating person as well as exercise being an everyday event. It seems I can keep other people motivated while I sit on the couch and eat popcorn and brownies for dinner. (Not sure how this works but I wish I did) The farthest i have run since thanksgiving in a 5k on the treadmill and it is not a regular event. This week I went to the gym 2 days and today tried to run outside only to be sidelined by extreme pain in the left shin. My body is angry at me for falling off the wagon and I can not say I blame it I am angry at me to. I have no idea what to do about my shin but I will let it rest till I get to St. Louis on Monday. I will be in the gym on Tuesday trying as hard as I can to get back on the horse and feel good again. I will continue to run in London, Ireland, and Germany it is the best I can do and who wouldn't want to run in 3 beautiful places like those. AKA get your shit together Felicia there is nothing wrong with you you just being a baby!
Sorry for the negative post

I'm sorry hun!! :(
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how many times I've fallen off the running bandwagon. Unfortunately, it does get REALLY hard to get back on.
Try it ONE mile at a time. You'll build your way back up there.
Don't be so hard on yourself, OK. You'll be back!!
I can relate to this! Being injured and off running for a couple months, I felt similar. I still do, really, because I'm dealing with the consequences as I try to start back up. We can do it though!!
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies for the encouragement! Things are crazy and getting back on the horse is harder than it seems. I will be making a plan for the Athens half marathon today and will post it. It is 16 weeks away so that allows for slow mileage adding.
