Overcoming Injury

The story of an athlete overcoming injury:

A year and a half ago, doctors told me I could forget running. Probably walking too.

In an instant, my world was shattered. But eventually I picked myself up off the ground and literally put one foot in front of the other. And then I did it again. And again. Until eventually I finished a triathlon and two half marathons.

See, I have a chronic pain disorder that’s yet to be figured out, but running was definitely off the table. Suddenly I had lost my identity, sense of self, and my purpose in life wavered.

I won’t rehash the whole pain thing again, but to read more about what happened follow these links:

I started blogging to distract me from an injury that was giving me an identity crisis & trying to put a downspin on my otherwise healthy life. You’ll find quite a bit of healthy, wholesome, nutritious eating thrown in here too.  And I do it all on a budget. :)

Read along to find out how I manage an injury, stay healthy, and eat really awesomely good food.

Live Healthy, Live Happy!
