The pain of injury

Today is my first running day without being able to run and I am going crazy!!!!! I miss being able to push my body to a limit and further, and with this injury I am couch ridden with an icepack. I am hoping that Wednesday I will be able to start at a low mileage to get started again. Being able to run for me is like releasing all of the energy, anger, and joy I have been holding onto all week. Also running is my way of being alone for an hour or so to clear my mind and center myself. So Wednesday I am going to take it easy 2 miles, then Friday 3 miles and we will be right on track!
