Before my surgery, I was walking all over town and I really grew to love it. I felt more in tune with things, I noticed more things. <br /><br />I feel you on the identity crisis. I've gone through that with CrossFit. It's hard to balance those two things and I love them both so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450866457385584358.post-30049718533882667732018-06-26T13:33:58.818-04:002018-06-26T13:33:58.818-04:00I'm glad you have found swimming!

WHen my surgeon told me "no running, don't even think about it" last summer, I was in shock for (maybe) 24 hours. When I got home and started walking (all the time LOL), I realized that even though running was my sport, it was not my life. Thankfully, by heeding my surgeon's strict recovery plan, I was able to return to running. And I appreciate each and every run, now, no matter the weather, distance or speed of my pace. Too bad we are in opposite time zones or we could "virtually" walk together every morning LOL Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450866457385584358.post-2476713767257571342018-06-26T09:27:44.794-04:002018-06-26T09:27:44.794-04:00In my advancing age (ha!)

Where once my body was totally on board with distance running, now I'm finding strength training and HIIT to be much more in my wheelhouse. I think our habits, and what our brains are telling us is "right" or "wrong" are where we tend to get hung up. Finding what works like you have, is so key.
