Being Hurt

Episode 41:   Being Hurt

This episode is inspired by so many of you asking me what has inspired the way I talk about and handle injuries.  Well, we're going to need to run down one of my memory lanes. This episode begins with a story about my junior year in high school and my first serious injury that just happened to happen when I was first getting serious about running.

The lessons from those 6 months when I was a (very cute... dare I say, adorable) sixteen year old are still being taught to me today. I talk about the need to work with experts, be an active participant in your healing, stay involved with the sport and your teammates, continue to cross starting lines, do those things while you're recovering that you couldn't do when you were running, and talk and write about and share your hurt.

I hope thing episode about me being hurt and what I learned from being hurt can help you... whether you are hurt or not.

Cheers and thank you for listening.
