“Being open about our injuries and publicly acknowledging that we are not infallible or unbreakable actually makes us stronger.”
That was me. I said that. I even wrote it on my website. So why do I feel embarrassed and weak when I’m back in the pool for a few days due to yet another setback with my health?
All I know is that this injury thing is never easy, folks. I’m dealing with another one (my 4th this year) with only about 3 weeks to go until the Doha World Champs.
I’m gonna do everything I can to let my body recover and maintain fitness in the pool until I feel like I can hit the track again. I’m not giving up yet and know that I’ve come back from these setbacks before.
I’ve also said “no race build-up is ever perfect.” Which is true. It’s just so much easier to say to someone else or to note after you’ve made it through the darkness and can reflect with a clear mind.
Any positive healing vibes you have time to send my way would be received with gratitude. 🙏🏼
