Does She Run Anymore?

Lauren — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 20:54:08 +0000

Race season is upon us, and I’m not signed up for one single race. That’s a bit different than the past couple years… so what’s my deal? Well a few things…

My knees have been hurting me on and off. I went to see my Doctor and she suggested I see the Physical Therapist. The PT said that I needed to get an x-ray done and see whats happening… it seems that my cartilage is worn down and I need to “take it easy” plus physical therapy. Eh, I can handle that.
I haven’t wanted to run. Like, at all. The heat this summer has been bananas, and my desire to run has slowly been leaving me. I have gotten a good run on the treadmill, but that just doesn’t compare to pounding the pavement. So my running mo-jo has faded.

I did go running a few nights ago, literally a half mile run and then walked the rest.. but it felt good to move quickly. It felt good to clear my head in a way that only running can do. Afterwards, no knee pain, and I was pleased with that. The weather is starting to finally feel like fall around here and the desire to “Go for a run“, is increasing. In fact, I even said to Hubs “I think Taxi and I will go for a run tonight.” Obviously the gorgeous cooler weather sparks the desire to run. As well as hearing about all the upcoming races – that I’m in no way trained for! All that to say… Yes, I’m still running, just kind of been on the back burner and slowly getting back into the game.

What races are you signed up to run? Have you ever lost your running mo-jo?
