"Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing"- Unknown
I really wanted to get to the gym today, but I just had to listen to my body, and I didn't think I was ready. Today I actually started putting weight on my foot, and attempted to walk normally, no matter how slow I am.
Winsor girls basketball pulled out a big win today! 19-4 over Beaver Country Day! I was so proud of the girls and how much they have improved. They're really understanding the plays and executing them, improvising, being confident with their skills, and look like they're enjoying themselves.
I was saying to my mom how deep down, I think I'm really scared to get back out and try to run. There's too many open-ended "what if's". What if I hurt myself even more? What if I realize it's going to take longer to recover? What if I'm going to be nowhere near what I'm capable of? My mind can only override my body so much. My mind wanted to continue to the end of that 17 mile run on Saturday. My mind wants to go out and run 10 miles this weekend. But my body is only going to let me do so much. It's funny because usually with the mind/body conflict it's the other way around where your mind tells your body, "awww you're tiredddd... you should stopppp.. you should slow down... you should go homeeee", but here I've had this positive, confident attitude for the past four months and it's been body aches and pains that have been holding me back.
I've seen Shaun White do a few runs, so now I can officially go to bed early with my headache and see if I can wake up early and face the elliptical...I hope!
