Waiting to Run again is the hardest part (injury update)

Waiting to run again is the hardest part..  4 to 6 weeks seems like an eternity!   I'm antsy.....I'm ready to get back out there and run again.   But I'm being extra careful....I want to make sure my toe is fully heeled before I get out there again.    So I wait in some virtual town outside of Seattle on my virtual run to Canada.

The waiting isn't easy.  It took me at least 1 1/2 years of having to make myself run  to get HE FAT in shape again.   There were so many days of not wanting to run -but making myself do it anyway. And then a break through...I finally got to that stage where I no longer had to make myself run....where if I didn't run for a couple of days there was something inside me telling me to get back out there again.   I craved it --just like Disneyland---just like the newest movie or TV show that I wanted to see.......(Just like Chocolate or something sweet at the end of the day).   And now I have to wait.     I'll give it one more week.....One more week for the torn ligaments to heal and the broken bone to settle... for I fear to quick of a return could prolong the injury or worsen it.  Today I will hit the pool instead....I've really been slacking since the broken toe and not doing much of anything....as I wait and wait and wait......I need to get back to running .... I have podcasts to listen to and running is my time to listen to them...
