Back at it.

Monday-rest.  Knee has been a little swollen lately and Achilles was barking from too much climbing.

Tuesday-5 mile run + new body weight workout

Wednesday-4 mile run

Thursday-5 mile run

Friday-Body weight workout

Saturday-12 mile trail run that will probably end up closer to 14

Sunday-5 mile run

It was a 5k (the same 5k that was my first ever race 2 years before!) and my time was 51:30.  Two years ago it was 55 and I was worried I wouldn't beat the race cut off or that I'd die.  This year I found myself thinking, "you can run faster than you're running, you just need to get over whatever fear you have that's stopping you."  

I think I'm afraid of running faster and collapsing because I can't move anymore.  Which sounds silly when I type it out, but it's the truth.  Most of the time I'm training, though, it's in my development and I'm never more than a mile away from home and there's normally someone at home that I could call to get me if I were desperate.  So I need to start working on pushing myself more and not caring so much about reaching my limit.  That's really scary for me for some reason though.  :/ 

Glad you had a great race. Feels great when it all comes together at the right time. What was your distance and time

Good luck on you race. Let me know how it goes.

Hi there,

You posted this a fair whilith chronic pain and mobilitye back but also as someone with chronic pain and mobility issues I wondered how you got on? If you had any advice or ideas on exercise/fitness that worked for you I would value hearing them.
