I am glad you are feeling better and that you had a good work out today. Being sick and drained is just hard on your body, emotionally and physically. good for you for not falling off the wagon. :)<br /><br />Erin<br />http://seemomrunfar.blogspot.com/SupermomE13https://www.blogger.com/profile/11305105357197956694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-3599408495364406102011-02-04T12:13:26.632-06:002011-02-04T12:13:26.632-06:00I always feel the EXACT same way after I've be...I always feel the EXACT same way after I've been down. I was so scared of my 18-miler during marathon training because that was my first run coming off a week of rest for my knee. But I put my big girl panties on (metaphorically speaking. I'm actually a fellow commando-er. haha) and did it and it was my best long run to date.<br /><br />Congrats on winning the medal display!

I'm from Fayetteville...AR ; )<br /><br />I had the worst flu about 5 years ago. It might have been mono. It lasted at least 8 weeks, no lie. I had been running 4ish miles per day, just for exercise-not training or anything. After that I got hurt. I am STILL trying to get back to 3-5 pain free miles. I took a break over a trip and I was actually nervous today. I had a nervous tummy to see how hard it would be today! It made me totally not want to do it, b/c I knew my legs were tired and I knew it would just be crap. But I did it. And it was crappy. But not as crappy as I expected, so little victories! <br /><br />If I had known my back was going to crap out at 24, I would have appreciated it more. Not to be all woe is me, but I haven't had a pain free conscious minute in over 6 years. But, it happened, so I'm trying to deal. All I can do is keep trying to be normal, and keep trying to get stronger!Carrie @ Confessions of a Dietitianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072333034822330390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-77705437733526858762011-02-03T21:48:34.555-06:002011-02-03T21:48:34.555-06:00Yeah girl!!

My dear friend lost her life to cancer. I have a tatoo just for her (and me) that reminds me what a blessing it is to be able to step out the door and RUN. And that when I come home, I have a loving family awaiting. It might not always be easy, but at least I have it to do...and for that, I am thankful. <br />Thanks for sharing your struggle today. It is a good reminder for us all.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192174576918883381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-9095091816115766392011-02-03T20:46:16.888-06:002011-02-03T20:46:16.888-06:00Good for you for getting back out there, even thou...Good for you for getting back out there, even though you didn't want to!! I think about it a lot... because my mom works with the physically disabled, I've been reminded all my life how lucky I am to be able to walk, run... It seems like there are so many around me who are fighting cancer right now. It's hard to take anything for granted when you are watching someone fight for their life.

I do think this...So happy you're on the mend! <br /><br />I do think this is one way I was SO LUCKY to start running with Team in Training. I have it engrained in my brain that I have it so easy...every single day...compared to people with Cancer, chronic illnesses, etc. We are just so so so so so lucky to be able to conquer the most basic of tasks daily, and on top of that - being healthy and active! It is truly amazing. <br /><br />Actually, I am a Team in Training mentor now, and one of my mentees last season was currently being treated for Lymphoma. She would show up to the Team runs bald and just having had a treatment a few days prior. And she did it. And she completed her marathon at Disney. And seriously, I have it easy. So easy. <br /><br />It truly is all about perspective.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695870868208192328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-59681963793077377252011-02-03T20:24:17.915-06:002011-02-03T20:24:17.915-06:00Yay for feeling better.
