Injured knee - check
Fall down the stairs - check
Super nasty weekend cold - check
SOO I am done with this round of set-backs from my running schedule and ready to get moving again.
And, unfortunately, back to the beginning I go. Well, not the very beginning, just back to week #2. But, I still have time. The 5k I want to run isn't until the end of January.
I wish I could say that it was easy to get back into it, but it's not. The important thing,however, is that I'm not giving up.
And another important thing is that my focus hasn't changed. Putting the effort and the thought into the goal of finishing my couch to 5k program is constantly reminding me that I'm working on personal growth in all areas of my life.
Everything is going great. Some days I hit little snags, like the day that D brought over the parenting plan paperwork that we need to agree on and turn into the lawyer in order to get our divorce paperwork written up. Little things like that remind me of how difficult the rejection part of this whole thing is to deal with. It's also little things like that that remind me of how far I've come, how strong I am and how much more positively I am able to view myself.
Getting back into the running program is hard. Running is hard. Falling down the stairs (literally and figuratively) is hard. But I am not giving up! I ran the bridge two days ago so today I'll be getting on the treadmill today. And I'm not going to stop until I reach that goal!
And I'm thinking it might be kind of cool if I keep running after this race is over...literally and figuratively :-)
