Oh Cait! I hope you aren’t injured at the moment?
I have been putting some consistent miles on my running shoes at the moment, but I’ve been taking care to put some walking and strength training days in there too so that I can avoid injury. And I NEED to buy new running shoes because that is my number one injury trigger (other than randomly falling down on the pavement for no reason at all…).
Injuries for sure suck. I DNF’d my first ever (40 years of running) race at Vermont 100 last month. It’s just not fair, right? It sucks, right? All true, but you nailed it in your blog. Weak glutes, weak core and oN and on. Time to rehab and get over it. I get it as do you. Happy trails. /jim
ugh, sorry you too have to deal with the ‘yup, that’s just what it is…stupid injuries!’ too. get those glutes and core strong and you’ll kick that next 100 miler’s @$$! happy healing, my friend!
Great post Cait. I have been guilty of going to bed with discomfort in a joint and really hoping that it will magically get better over night so I can go for my run in the morning. haha.
This is so true. I feel a weird kinship to everyone who was injured at the same time I was…
very true.
