But, I have to say I am very impressed that there was five years between falls!<br /><br />The anxiety. Learning to live with it is probably the best thing you can do. I just remembered how I used to be when I was showing dogs. I acted all calm, but before almost every show, I would get a very upset stomach AND one big pimple would usually pop out. Weird, huh? I bet a lot of people in various competitive sports have anxiety.debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-22026870639361709252017-01-04T09:06:38.976-06:002017-01-04T09:06:38.976-06:00I feel your pain.

Glad you weren't seriously hurt during that fall.<br /><br />Besides the sidewalk part, I felt like I could have seriously wrote this post because you touched on mostly how I feel as well. I know I will never win a race or the world is not depended on me finishing but I get those anxieties too (although it is becoming less and less). I've also been more conscience about the amount of miles I run. I don't want to over do it but I do enough to get by..hahaFairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-69720271631689099992017-01-04T07:00:46.688-06:002017-01-04T07:00:46.688-06:00Congratulations on all your miles last year!

This actually weirds me out a little because remember when I hurt my hamstring way up high on my thigh and then a couple months later you did the same? We have to stop this injury sharing!!<br /><br />I'm look at all these stats (first, let me say I'm proud of you for tracking them lol) and thinking you have found a good formula for your personal running success. I think it's great that you're willing to go with the flow (or races, as it may be) and you know yourself well enough to know when to slow down.<br /><br />Happy running in 2017!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.com
