Hello! Happy weekend to YOU!! So…. I had a frustrating event regarding my fitness goals. If you remember back to my first post on fitness goals here, I have been training for the 1/2 marathon since February. My training was going great and I was faster then I have ever been. I was sure to PR this half and I was super excited about it!! Then something went wrong and I injured my hip. I tried resting it, icing it, stretching it, everything~ but it didn’t help. This meant that I finally had to come to the conclusion that I couldn’t do the 1/2 marathon. Injuries are frustrating & luckily I can still do most things in Crossfit. Which I am very thankful for , because I definitely love Crossfit more than running 🙂 I am also in the process of getting my hip all fixed up, which also means there are some thing that I can’t do, (mostly running and anything that involves a deadlift motion) which is still frustrating but necessary. Another thing that I have learned working with Synergy Chiropractic, is that there are things that I was doing and not doing before that contributed to the injury. Most likely my stride and the weakness that I had along with the faster running just didn’t mix. So I am also fixing some bad habits that I have gotten into and learning some new stretches and movements to do to that will strengthen those areas of weakness . In life, I have learned that sometimes it doesn’t go the way you think, or the way you have planned, BUT that is where the best learning and growing comes from. It is frustrating that I couldn’t do the 1/2 as I had planned, but I am learning some great thing that will help me in the bigger picture.
