Are We There Yet?

The board in the lounge at school 💗💗

It's been a week and change. I don't know if the high has worn off, or if there even was a high to begin with. I felt defeated by that last 13.1 miles. 

Last Monday I went to get my knee assessed at Athletico. The PT said that it's likely sprained. We also talked body mechanics--if something was wonky in my hip, everything else down the line would be affected. If my quad was strong, but my hamstring wasn't, that could affect things, too. So for the next 6 weeks I will be working on stretching and strengthening in PT.

So mentally and emotionally...well, even I don't believe it, but I definitely want to run again. Another marathon, for sure. But for now, I'd love to run even two miles. I miss the high--because yes, there was a high. I miss training. It's hard to take it slow. But I know that ultimately, doing it this way will allow me to get back out there. So I have to. And I will. 

Here we go again.
