Day 20 Success. Faced my fear of running.

Hello all.

I thought I would post also in case this helps
somebody else.

Earlier in this program I posted about my fear of running.
Today I had been to a friends for dinner and
I walked to the park after and ran??? Yay

It felt so good to do it and I didn’t don’t care
About my level of pain, I have realised the
last couple of days that I “check” the tightness in my back hip quite a lot with my mind. So from now on I will stop that I
ignore how tight my muscles and body are.

This coming week I want to exercise gym
most days and start lifting weights again.

When I’m exercising I tell myself my brain
this is good for me, I’m safe and all is well.

I feel so happy I could run it’s a relief.

Thank you for posting this! I have a lot of fear around fitness right now when it used to be my "happy place" - I have hope that it will get better eventually.
