Rewind–> On Friday, they instructed us the MRI would take 3-4 hours (fortunately, she was sedated). Andrew was past exhausted and wanted to nap, and I couldn’t go to sleep for the lifetime of me. So, I placed on my operating gear, considering {that a} run would assist the whole lot really feel higher. I bought a mile away from the hospital and simply began sobbing. I circled and walked again to the hospital and didn’t even take into consideration operating once more till we have been dwelling. It was bizarre. Working has at all times helped me to really feel higher and get via my hardest instances, however this one, this one, simply sucked each ounce of vitality and emotion out of me to the purpose that my physique couldn’t do it mentally or bodily. That mile on Friday felt prefer it was the primary time I had ever run in my whole life.
Lengthy story quick, don’t really feel alone if operating doesn’t allow you to via the robust stuff. Typically, it can, and typically, it gained’t. Working will at all times be there for us once we are prepared, and also you don’t simply lose your health in a single day.
