I am training for a 10k race in May. The race is in May, not the training. The training is now. Or at least it was until I got reinjured.
Injuries are the worst. I had the best intentions of sticking to my training schedule and now I can’t! But of course I still feel guilty. As if I was faking the injury just to get out of training. It’s all so silly. Runner’s guilt, who has felt this before?
On top of that, I have to slow down which is very hard for me. I like being fast, efficient.

Kale is big and green and has so many healthy things in it like iron and calcium, especially important for women. Dragon fruit is fresh and juicy; I think it tastes like a cross between a kiwi and a pear. And just look at it! That colour wins me over every time. Coconut milk provides some liquid with a very subtle taste.
