So, the chiropractor told me I have strong will and commitment. Why you ask?
To have run all these miles all these years.
He read me an article from medical journal stating 3 days a week improved 3/4 of a study group's running. The majority finished a marathon on their PR (personal record) time. They state less mileage=better performance.
I am at a point where I wonder if I'll be able to run again. At least one day a week, let alone the miracle of running three days. Or a whoopty-doo miracle would be even better, maybe I can run five days? Never again will it be seven days, those are my history now. I would love to run like I used to, but my body stopped cooperating-it obviously wasn't happy with the amount of strain, which I didn't see as strain. I saw it as a challenge to overcome. Fuck!
I don't need to go thru a challenge to win or be satisfied anymore. I frankly don't have the energy or interest. I am not in danger of being a couch potato or a recluse, but my reasons have changed for engaging in activity. Activity of any sort.
So, wishing has its moments. Do I wish to run? Can I wish it back into existence?

running or any kind of exercise frees us to think while the body is working. i love the silence with just the sound of music (ipod) and my breathing.
And the high after is great. Keep running, even if you have to slow down a bit and only go for shorter runs. :O)
Thank you for posting, I am definitely with you on the freedom exercise allows. And yes, I may indeed be headed for very short runs and headed to the two-wheel type of high.:-)
