I’m not running right now, and it’s been weeks since I laced up my shoes for some miles. I’m so far from the fitness that I had in this photo at the beginning of August. I feel like a completely different person than I was 2 months ago, before the run-in with a dumb distracted driver and the injury that stole my season. • But here’s the thing - I AM different. And that’s ok. Injuries happen, tendons tear, tears are shed. Instead of going to practice, I go to the pool. I go to the gym, and PT, and focus on celebrating the little gains there, like getting my glute to fire or doing an exercise pain-free. And I read, and listen to podcasts, and work on developing mental strength, to help me get through this injury and so that I’m ready for the day when I’m back competing again. • I miss running: the meditative miles, the crunch of leaves beneath my feet, sweaty sports bras and post-run lattes and lounging on the couch watching Netflix while I recover. But that’s been replaced (temporarily) with the smell of chlorine in my hair, long hot showers after a swim, exploration walks with Moose Man, and lots of puppy snuggles. And these are all good things. So while they’re different, this is new territory, and I’m outside my comfort zone - I know that in this unfamiliar space, I can find home. I’m not the first person to go through something like this, and surely not the last. I’ve conquered unknowns before, I can do it again. And challenging as it is, I’ll be better for it.

Thanks everyone for the support & love in the wake of my injury. It’s a long road back to a healthy hamstring tendon but I’m trying hard to be positive, look ahead, kick ass at my mental performance, and SMILE! 😊 And til I can run again, I’m trying to swim joyfully 🧜‍♀️🏊‍♀️ . . . . . #mermaid #swimming #swimlaps #poolparty #runnerturnedswimmer #runnerturnedmermaid #notmarathontraining #crosstraining #roadtorecovery #positiveattitude #attitudeiseverything #onedayatatime #mentalperformance #swimmingjoyfully

I’m gutted to have to withdraw from the @nycmarathon. 😢 • “if the ocean can calm itself, so can you. we are both salt water mixed with air. —Nayyirah Waheed I’ve shed a lot of salty tears lately in the wake of the hard fall I took on a run last month, dodging a distracted driver who wasn’t paying attention and didn’t see me running by. When I fell, I apparently suffered a partial tear of my hamstring tendon, resulting in a painful injury that I’m no longer able to train through. Thank you to the Boston Athletic Association @teambaa, my coach, my teammates, friends, and family for their support during this time. I’m grateful too to the stellar team of physicians and PTs I’m seeing at @spauldingrehab who are helping me get healthy & whole again. Don’t count me out - I’ll be back! I’m finding the calm amidst this tumultuous sea. Onward. #tcsnycmarathon

Hard to believe that this guy is an adult today...! 😯 I got to be there 18 years ago when he came into the world. When he was a baby, I changed his diapers, rocked him to sleep, and carried him around as if he were my own (and subsequently frequently got asked if I was a teen mom - NOPE, he’s my brother!). Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of watching him grow up into the thoughtful, kind, intelligent, hard-working, goofy, lovable and loving young man he is today. Bryce, what joy you’ve brought to our lives these past 18 years - HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, little brother! 🎉🎈🎂. . . . #tbt #throwbackthursday #siblings
