And come back refreshed. To be honest, taking 3 weeks completely OFF of running and cross training was harder than I’d like to admit. The type A part of my personality really struggles with rest when my ego is telling me I don’t deserve it. But being back on my feet and running pain free? Worth it. The hard part is not knowing how long the recovery will take and if it will actually help. I’m not a religious woman, but I had a little faith… and a few solid people in my corner encouraging me to just stop and trust that rest was very much needed. Another reminder to surround yourself with people you can truly trust. 🙏🏼 So happy to be running again. Just a little, but just enough. #backinthegame #dontcallitacomeback 📷: the forever goofy pat__jeffers
