I tried to muster a smile and I thought about not posting this but I am because not everyday is rainbows and butterflies. Feeling the feelings sucks but is a part of life. I have been feeling very depressed this past week. Mostly because Iā€™m missing out on my running endorphins and the joy I find from completing a run. The doctor diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis and Iā€™m waiting for my appt with my PT (not till Feb 15th). I tried for a run yesterday and afterwards and today Iā€™m just hurting. I know this is temporary as is most things in life but I still feel sad.

That is one of the most painful things ever. Iā€™m so sorry Jen. Hopefully they can get you an orthotic. Sometimes Iā€™ve even gotten a cortisone shot to relieve the pain. Big needle. But so worth it.
Iā€™m so sorry :cry:

My gp is sending me to PT to see if we can get it worked out there and if that doesnā€™t work then I have to get a x-ray and go to a podiatrist. :cry: Iā€™ve worked out and ran through all different soreness and pain but this one takes the cake.

Thanks Jaz :heart: I hope so as well

149 days off booze - so much blossomed in these last 7 days itā€™s crazy!! i played two successful shows in town with my band (our first public performances!); i shared two brand new solo songs/videos on my IG - (writing/producing/posting for the first time since before my son was born!); AND: i got a job! as a piano & guitar & production instructor at an awesome music academy near where I live. none of these beautiful gifts would have been able to appear in my experience if i was still drinking. now that iā€™m established in sobriety iā€™m building the next level of the foundation for me and my son. itā€™s very rewarding. sober life for the win!! :heart_on_fire::metal:t4:

Wow!!! @JuliaLuna
You do look like a star!! We all have known here that you were a star, we just didnā€™t know it also included music! Well, a little idea when you set up your equipment!
You look awesome and sooo happy! Best wishes to you as you continue to go forward!

Sorry @Runningfree ā€¦ is very much a drag for you. I got that once wearing a new pair of shoes on a big hike. It hurt so bad. Had it for awhile and then it went away. No residual effects thank goodness.

Jen Iā€™m so so sorry for you. Thing that you are not able to run for some time sucks big time. I can totally understand why you feeling depressed. I know itā€™s not the same but maybe give the pool a chance. Or bike. I also donā€™t like when there is lot of ppl in the pool but I used to swim in the morning and it was super chill. Only older ppl minding theirs own business.
I hope you gonna find some r charge you replacement that will charge you up with endorphins. And soon you gonna run again :running_woman:t2:

Edit (forgot to add): i love the photo :heart_eyes:
