Uncalled for Frustration

Since I have written I have run a half marathon (Cowtown), the Granbury Road Races 10K, and the Capitol 10K in Austin. I am so happy to be running and feeling good. My knee is really feeling good. However I am struggling. Physically I am getting stronger, but after the surgery it just seems to be taking so long to get back to where I was, it's there in my heart but it's not in my body. It isn't fair for my brain to take away from what my body is doing! I was so excited when I first got back to running, just so happy to be out there again. Loved being able to feel myself get stronger. And here I am whining because I am not fast enough. My body isn't there....yet! Silly brain....let it go I tell it. I am doing it, I am running miles and starting to do some speedwork. Build it, speed will come right? And what if it doesn't? Why can't I be satisfied with just getting out there and doing it? Running, enjoying the feeling of the pavement/trails under my feet? This frustration is simply uncalled for. Time for my brain to let it go.

Sorry Blog

Dear Blog,

Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I've been very busy. I am still running and now that the weather is warm cycling is back in my schedule too.

I will write more later.
