It has been a while since my last post...
After the accident, my body was feeling pretty good within a day or two, but my mind was not. The day of the accident (Thursday) and the day after were total right offs work wise, and I spent the whole weekend feeling emotionally exhausted, though I did get out for a 4 mile run on the Sunday in the sun. I couldn't help thinking the entire time that I could have died, and yet I was out running, and feeling very, very, very lucky.
The following week was a whirlwind of trying to get caught up on essentially 2 days of missed work, plus facilitating a 2-day, out of town meeting, plus still being behind from the 3 days spent out of town on a work related trip the week before the accident. Throw Christmas shopping and cross-country gift sending into the mix, and you get a pretty stressed out Amy.
I managed to get out for my 2 group runs on Tuesday and Thursday, and a hike this Sunday with the BF. I also finally made it to the gym for my weight room orientation. More on that soon! I also signed up for a marathon clinic starting in January, and registered for a marathon - but more on that soon, too!
Today, I finally feel like I'm where I should be at work. I still have a to-do list a mile long, but it feels manageable. I also feel like I should be able to get in some more running this week, now that Christmas shopping is done, packages have been sent out and Christmas cards are in the mail. And I'm hoping we get a fresh dusting of snow so I can get out for my first cross country ski of the year!
Now I just need to get caught up on what has been going on with all of you!
Now forget the bad adventure and enjoy this beautiful Christmas time in all the possible ways: with the family, eating candies and cookies (here panettone), exchanging gifts and running. Please forgive me if I have forgotten something.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and family from Italy.
That's great that you signed up for a marathon clinic!! I was thinking about it too, but there is none close by where I live.
ReplyDeleteWhich marathon are you running?? I'm soo excited for you!!
Holy...I just read about your accident...So glad to hear all is ok.
ReplyDeleteYipee on the marathon - can't wait to hear about it.
I can see how an experience like that could really shake you to the core. Hope you are able to get all caught up on life and feeling "normal" for the holidays. Looking forward to hearing all this big news!
ReplyDeletewrecks are very scary. I know after my air bags deployed I felt silly being nervous about getting in a car because I was fine...but I was emotionally not fine. Give yourself some time to really feel all th emotions, it's totally fine and expected
