Excuses, excuses…
I recently moved and just found in the unpacking exercise my foot brace. Many may ask why do you carry it around? It reminds me how far I have come and how proud I should be of myself. I am always so hard on myself – Carrie why can’t you go quicker, Carrie why can’t you run today? That day happened yesterday – I did sprint training on thursday, then went on a rigorous hike on Friday, and then could barely even run yesterday…what happened. Couple of thoughts – I was the last person on the hike and was by myself and that made me a little sad and a little self-conscious….but then I realized, hey I was hiking…be thankful! Then yesterday when i couldn’t really run, I said to myself, hey, I did a lot this week without a day off of course my little legs are tired…it happens dystonia or not…so this morning when I saw the brace, I started crying because I realized how far I have come…how far I have to go….and you know what there is a big celebration coming up…April 4….so I will save some of my thoughts for my favorite day of the year!
Run Carrie Run!
