"I did it!" - my relief
I went for a run on January 1, 2013 and felt a pain in my right Achilles tendon. I ran through it and thought that was the end of it.
Well, after coming back home I realized that the pain only temporarily went away. So I decided to give my body a break and take a month off.
February 1st I tried to run. My run lasted 1 minute and 30 seconds. I stopped and decided to give myself another month. During this month I started doing yoga and working out on an elliptical machine.
On Sunday March 2nd I went out for a 3 mile run. I ran it and it felt good. My leg muscles were letting me know that I have not pushed them that hard in a while BUT that was a good pain. To tell the truth, I probably ran a little faster than I wanted because on the way back I struck a conversation with another runner. I ran it in 30 minutes.
Today's question is:
"Can you stop hurting yourself in order to heal?"
