I had a similar conversation with myself a few years ago when I was recovering from a stress fracture that sidelined me from a marathon and had me basically starting over with running. I had to figure out what I was really running for. I don't have the lifestyle where I can really be competitive, so I stopped trying to be. Good for your for giving yourself this gift. I believe and hope it will make you a happier, more content runner!Lindsay Loves Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918403651564107604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-67549505758910723272016-12-22T08:53:13.694-06:002016-12-22T08:53:13.694-06:00I think the gift of giving yourself a break is a g...I think the gift of giving yourself a break is a good one.
