Why I still climb (and what it taught me about running)

I reflect on climbing and what it taught me about running. Plus, why I still risk my running on the wall, even after my fall.

Letting go of the Athlete you were, to make room for the athlete you are

Lately it has felt a bit like I am hanging onto my identity as an athlete by the last thread. Looking at old pictures from the summer, I can't help but wonder if I'll ever get back there.

A Background Story

Not being able to run for a year and half made me realize how much I want to run for the rest of my life. I have unfinished business with the marathon, and I plan to try my hardest to complete another post-surgery. I am going to have to be smarter, healthier, and stronger. I am probably going to have to ACTUALLY foam roll this time around. I'm older now, with new-old injuries, but I got the guts. Are you with me? Cool! Let's do it.
