I’ll keep this short. It’s been 14 weeks since I started on this journey of plantar fasciitis. I had to drop my plans to run a marathon, and I may even need to change my half marathon plans. I’ve been able to savor the blessings of physical strength, learned to love swimming, and work through two calf strains. Along the way, I’ve hit personal bests in the deadlift, weighted pullup, and squat. Nonetheless, I’m ready to start running.
There is something wonderful about running. Especially in the fall and early spring. The cool crisp days on the trails are just what the body needs to escape the office and reset. And while weightlifting is much, much easier on the body (ask anyone who does both), there seems to be completely different physiological benefits to running (don’t ask me what they are).
Hopefully, my Monday post will be describing how wonderful it felt to run again!
Peace and blessing.
