I've been completely sidetracked/stressed lately and it's because I'm in the process of switching jobs/companies...and it's insane. And of course, with this stress comes my stupid injuries. Not only have my feet been acting up again but my hip is popping and causing me grief. Boo. I'm just falling apart. Again. Sometimes I think that my body is just not meant for long distances like a marathon. :(
But anyway, enough of the rants. I'm just trying to take my running easy and slowing my pace down a little because it helps ease the pain. I'm still running! (for now) Thankful for that.
So how was everyone's weekend? I can't wait to hear about everyone's races...Princess Half!! :)
Good luck with the job change! Hope you feel better soon! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I hope your injuries go away and you can run comfortably again.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this! It's all cyclical I think. We runners have peaks and valleys. Hope things calm down for you soon!
ReplyDeleteSounds like lots going on - good luck with the change in jobs!
ReplyDeleteBOOOO to pains/injuries. I hope easing up a little bit helps. Take care, girl! Good thoughts coming your way.
oohhh booo on injuries I hope you feel better soon...check out the bondi giveaway your listed as a .......WINNER!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry sweetie! Stress really does take a toll on the body. Take care of YOU and running will come back :)
ReplyDeleteOh no. This bites. HAppend to me last summer. A lot of stress and a knee injury putting me off running for a bit. No outlet for stress relief :(
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about you and your job situation. Hope it's less stressful soon and you're feeling back to your normal kick-a$$ self!
ReplyDeleteBummer....get better soon!!
ReplyDeleteImagine that - life getting in the way of fun. Who came up with this whole work for money concept anyways? I'd love to get my hands on him! (Please note -I gave the credit to a man - we're the only ones stupid enough to come up with an idea like that...)
ReplyDeleteUgh. Sounds like your body needs a little rest too. Be careful with all the popping and stuff. Last thing you want is a date with hip bursitis. Keep it easy and sane.
Cant wait to hear more about the change in jobs. I dont like that my little running buddy is broken. I will MISS you!! guess we will have to find other ways to hang. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get "repaired" soon!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job and with your hip.
I did a 5-miler on Saturday and was a little ambitious on Sunday, and tried to do a make-up 3-miler. My knee acted up again. So, I am going to lay off the knee today and do an easy 3-miler tomorrow.
Good luck with the new job, I am sure that can be a load of stress!
ReplyDeleteStress does that doesn't it? Shows up in strange ways. Hang in there and take it easy if you need to. Sometimes a little rest can go a long way!
ReplyDeleteHope things calm down soon! Take it easy and heal up.
ReplyDeleteStress does nothing good to injuries...I hope you settle into the new job soon and that you can relax a little and start enjoying your pain free runs again soon.
ReplyDeleteHang in there sweets! All will be swell again!!!
ReplyDeleteStress sucks! I hope you are back to running crazy miles soon.
ReplyDeleteUnless you are an ultra runner, sometimes our bodies need to rest, and by hurting, it sends us the signal to "hey, ease off". I hope that your injuries heal soon and that you are back to square one. Hang in there Zoe. It will get better.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's about time for a trip to the foot dr. Take care of yourself. Epson salt baths!!
ReplyDeletewell hopefully the job switch is a good thing??
ReplyDeletetake time for yourself! don't get too worked up about stuff - not worth it :)
Here's hoping that the change from "broken" to "whole" happens quickly...I am still sore from the weekend half mary...it's doubly hard when you have stressful life changes going on (job change) and can't find your happy place ( a nice long run)...hang in there! Sending you good vibes!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I didnt see your post before this. Hope you are not injured and not too stressed! Keep us updated and you'll be missed :(
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the pain.. sometimes I think I'm not cut out for long distances either..But then I think that can't be! hang in there you'll make it!
ReplyDeletehaving a job change can be a real pain for everyone, just relax and divert urself into running, it really helps to ease the pain and also a real stress reliever, so hang on tight!
