If I don’t have running anymore I’d be ok. 

Is a place I got myself to during my recent hiatus from running following Covid and some long Covid symptoms that resulted. 

I mean this in the healthiest way possible and this is probably the biggest win and lesson learned from this time off running. 

Honestly I had gotten myself to a ridiculously calm state overall earlier this year. Probably the most calm I’ve ever been in my life during that time. 

As I’ve started to run and exercise again I’ve felt a bit more anxious and haven’t felt as much of that calmness as before, although I’m keeping the tools I used during that time. 

At first I was like maybe I’m not ready to go back to exercise. But as I’ve returned more and more my perspective is that the calmness I felt came from a place of just being able to BE.

Not needing to BE BETTER every given moment. Be training...
