No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
It's Been 3 Years Since I Ran!
Yes.... it has been a while since I blogged on here, and I have to admit that I was in a rut of not being consistent with my routine. Maybe it was because I recently moved, school, and work that kept me from being consistent with exercising. Now, something amazing has happened!!! I woke up and realized once again what I need to do!
Now that I am situated from my move, and especially since I am on vacation from work, I have found time!!! Alelejuah! When I was first starting my vacation, I just was not motivated for anything but just trying to relax on my break. I would walk the dogs a little, but I was so burned out from my move, lots of school work, and just all the things that come with changes, I was so stressed, and just needed to enjoy my break!
I did enjoy my break for about 2 1/2 weeks, when I realized I was in a slump and needed to move again especially after I felt like I regained my strength from all that I was doing. I relaxed, and now for the past week and a half, I have been getting healthy!
It started out with a slow momentum of just walking, and now I am running!! I am so elated and feel so free and feel even more happy to run again especially since it has been 3 years since I haven't ran! It started last week when I began my run. The reason to why it has been so long since I ran was because I was in a near fatal car accident three years ago. Was in a coma, had both sides of my pelvis fractured, and my left femur (leg) was broken! I now have a titanium rod in my left leg.
Even though my doctor had told me I can do what I did before, I of course was reluctant. I did not want to chance it so soon, and as a result, I have noticed that I gained 20 pounds since my accident! In fact, it was because I was in so much shape prior my accident that the doctors gave credit to my chance of survival. That and also because of my youth.
So now here I am an X track and field runner who was always running, and would love to run for the fun of it! Prior my accident, I would still run, but not as intensely, but more for myself to maintain my weight because I actually loved working out before too! So of course after my accident, I went through some depression, and realized I was lucky to be able to get healed and atleast walk again.
Three years after my accident, I just did not do it. I just didn't feel like I could. Something in the back of my mind just wouldn't allow me to run like I use to. Maybe it was because I felt that having screws and metal in my leg would not be the same. Today I am very happy to finally feel free again! My gosh, did it take 20 pounds of extra weight for me to realize that I had to try?
I did try, and I am trying. I run every night with leaving out two days out of the week to rest my body. I take my husband's dog, and run! I am feeling so much better now, and alive! I believe that we should not take life for granted and use what God gives us. These legs were made for walkin, but they were also made for runnin! :)
