I’ll save you from doing the math. SEVEN MORE DAYS! Seven…until I can run on this new leg…as least I hope it’s renewed. Time will tell…obviously.

My patience is just non-existent anymore. I feel like my summer of running is gone now. I’m grumpy…I won’t lie.

I must find the positive. I’m POSITIVE I’m grumpy. Is that better?

On a serious note, this has been the most significant injury I have ever had to keep me from running. Due to the significance, I followed orders, but I’m just so anxious. Walking feels like forever in completing a few steps. Trust me…I only run about 30% faster than I walk, but it feels like I’m moving in slow motion.

I guess during my walk today I tried to enjoy the moment. The moment of seeing the lasting colors around me, smelling the sweet sunshine, and feeling the warmth. I sure do love summer, even in the middle of September!

Stop and smell the roses…or daisies and sunflowers. Life is already too busy that we all seem to miss the important parts.

Until next week…peace out, trout!! AND GO STEELERS!!!
