Fibro = No More Running

Love my dirty old running shoes. Pumas are the best!

You know those times you feel like your old self again? And you forget for just a couple of minutes? And you go running because that's what you used to do?

Well, that happened. I woke up this morning feeling good. I've been walking outside lately. Today when I was out there I felt so good I started running! I made it 1/2 a mile and walked the rest of the mile on the loop. I stretched out when I got home and was starting to come down from the "runner's high" but still felt pretty good.

And now, 30 minutes later, I am paying for it. Everything hurts multiplied by a thousand. It's so hard to accept that that life is never going to happen for me again! :-( I miss running so much!

Moral of the story: Even though it's hard to accept our new lives with our conditions, it's pretty important that we do accept it and adapt. And every now and again, it's important to remind ourselves that our lives have changed and we can no longer do the things we used to do. Although, you will pay for it later... ;-)

Stay strong, everyone!
