diapause

My dad was making fun of me last week for writing a blog about running when I haven't even been running.

But I used to run, so much and all the time that my whole identity was wrapped up in being strong, being fast and being a runner. And then the injuries and illness started piling on and breaking me down and so did my sense of self.

I used to run and I am looking forward to running again, in the not-to-far-off future, but right now, it feels really good to be taking care of decades-long injuries and building strength again.
