A couple weeks ago I noticed some pretty intense pain on a run, and tried to push through it. To the point where I felt nauseous. I took some rest days, spoke with a coach I was working with, who happens to be a physical therapist, and wasn’t too worried. Fast forward, we’re in an orthopedic surgeons office getting a diagnosis of a stress reaction in the tibia.

In my mind, I thought, “okay no biggie, it’s basically shin splints, I can push through that.” Incorrect. In that appointment, I learned that the difference between a stress reaction vs fracture, is essentially, one long run, which, was supposed to be 15 miles that week.

While this is not what I’d hoped for, it’s been a great lesson in patience, acceptance and validation. Pushing our bodies to such extremes can be super cool and impressive, it can also be quite dangerous. Accepting where I’m at in recovery, and respecting my body’s limitations, has been a HARD lesson.

I often teach distress tolerance and radical acceptance with clients, and this has been encouraging me to put those skills to the test everyday.
Good luck to those running marathons this fall, you got this!

“You’re the only kid of mine who was in the prinicple’s office!” Frequent phrasing by my parents for the next 3 years. Trauma does funky things to kiddos

We’re allowed to have bad moments, days or weeks. But how we move through them, matters.
