The road back.
Any goal has obstacles its how we respond to them that helps us grow our resilience.
Fear is real and present in any scenario.
Tonight I ran my first road run since May 8th when I sustained a reoccurance of a back disc injury. Although I have done some short road walks and recently completed TM runs of 5 and 3 miles heading out tonight there was some fear as to how it would go, running gives me so much and allows me to give back.
My fellow ultra marathoner Rob Steger wrote about fear.
"As I begin to push nearer my personal limits, the element of fear becomes a real factor, I try to scare myself just enough into healthy training and eating habits. My goal needs to be just on the edge, scarey enough to harness the fear and ride it into race day".
Today I ate right and rode the fear into the 5.8 mile run tonight believing I could get through it successfully.
Thankfully mission accomplished tonight and I can continue the slow recovery.
Find something to be grateful for.
Follow your dreams.
