This is the quote from this evening's tea tag. Even my tea is telling me to buck up and get moving on life.
The run was pretty amazing, I usually consider this last run of the week, if after a long trail run, to be my "most breakable run" in which I would be most prone to injury. Wasn't expecting it to be one of my best runs of the week! DT and IT joined me for a light rain loop of FoPa. That's why the pace was faster -- I was trying to keep up! Talked to DT, been wanting to all week once I learned he'd be there today.
So 54 miles this week, no injury! My blisters are healing up, my back is what it is. I'm foam rolling and heating and resting it.
Phase 2 today, not perfect but I'm aware of the changes and am able to stop the process sometimes. It's good to recognize and admit, but not get stuck doing just that! Another thing I realized today is I am still in the habit reading into his words and wondering what they mean. Today's visit was positive, not what I feared it would be. My fear was coming from a over-reading and a feeling of no control. Can't avoid that feeling sometimes, but again, I can recognize it.
It rained most of the day, more of a misty rain really. Great start to the next phase. So like the quote above says, I can't wait for things to come to me, or wait for the worst to be over. I need to dance in the moment and make changes in the now. I know what is going on, I know what changes I want to make. Quit looking for the clear skies after the clouds, get out there NOW.
