As a contrast to last week’s post, this week I’m writing about why I’m not running–at least for the moment.
First I injured myself which has prevented me from running. I would like to start trying a little bit of running, but I’m not sure what I’m up to right now.
On top of all of that, life has gotten very complicated. Cinderella is needing my attention around the clock. This is all exhausting and making me very weary but under the guise that we’d all do anything for our children, I keep going.
Trying to find the time to take a walk around the block is almost impossible. If it does happen, it’s late at night. In thinking about when to fit running into my schedule, I come up empty right now. The only time available is late at night, and if I run after 8:00 I can’t sleep.
Thankfully, this is all temporary. We’re being yanked into a new schedule and way of doing things. Once we get adjusted and figure it all out, it will be better in the end. The adjustment period is the killer!
In retrospect, I’m looking at this injury as a blessing in disguise. Right now I’m having a difficult time finding time to go to the grocery store and to the doctor for my injury. If I were trying to fit another thing into my schedule (like running) it would just be more stress and more exhaustion. I know I wouldn’t be doing anything well.
Right now I need to step away from the pavement and give Cinderella my full attention. This injury is forcing me to do that. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
