I miss running with every ounce of me.
As you all know, my Achilles tear that I ran with all of my senior XC season absolutely destroyed me after having to deal with 5 bone injuries & on top of experiencing one my first year in pharmacy school.
A deeper hole dug in my heart
Cycling 100% became the true love of my life
Nothing can ever compare to running in college, with such amazing girls in my conference, my coach, and my team (well for the most part)
It’s been well over a year, probably close to two, that I stepped away from running completely.
Nothing felt the same; it was more and more pain mentally and physically.
I also had to for my own health with my massive weight loss from stress with school that I was making everything even worse with my relationship with running.
Granted, I’m still struggling to make myself make time to eat, I want to change that so I can *try* to run.
Maybe I’m being nostalgic?
Maybe it’s because everyone who never ran before, claimed to hate it, and thought halfs, fulls, and 10/5ks were the stupidest things in existence are now running them?
I wish I could compete here in pharmacy school.
If only there was a version of the NCAA but for grad students.
I miss my abusive relationship with running, everything it did to me, but I’ll always live for stepping up to the line.
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to run fast laps around the track again with my swim bottoms and jersey on, my battle braids, the team bow I made for us all, and the M on my face.
I hope I can physically handle running more than 1mile at a time again.
