Racing...?
So, don't get too excited, but I did a race. A 5K. In the week after a serious sharp pain in the arch of my foot, I still decided to toe the line and see if I could run 3 miles with no pain.
That's it. Just run pain free. And preferably under 20 mins.
And I did! 19:19- the slowest 5K in years and years, but I did it and I did it pain free! Just pussy-footing along in my trainers to make sure that every step I took was intentional, deliberately placing each landing and pushing off exactly as the PT would like to see.
Of course, I wasn't really sweating at the finish so I immediately thought that I should have pushed myself, and why didn't I run faster? But the point is, I wasn't sweating and I accomplished all that I wanted to that day.
It felt great! I am a lucky gal :)
