Beautiful share and self-realization, Kaylin... and glad you understood where to stop, even if it was your leg that ultimately stopped you.

Sometimes I think we tell ourselves stories of the "why" we're doing things... and they are often lies. I used to run a lot, too... and ended up not with a stress fracture, but with bad knees. I called my running "relaxation" and "de-stressing" but at a deeper level I was running away from myself; from a life that was causing me to NEED to run "to de-stress" in the first place.

This has been a difficult year for many... a lot of loss. A lot of changes... and not voluntary, most of the time.

Hang in there! This too... shall pass.
