The Lesson by Marni Renison

Marni Renison, OHSU Sports Medicine's running friend and community blogger, shares some lessons learned while spending some unwanted time cross training after a running injury.  Proof that although a simple activity to some, running is really a lifestyle to many.

Some of her pearls include:


Enjoy running healthy – don’t take it for granted.  Yup.  I knew that.

Pay attention to your body.  Pain is a signal something is wrong.  I knew that, too.  But, some things you can run through.  The key is knowing the difference. 

Focus more on your family – don’t be so wrapped up in running.  Okay.  I will.  I promise.  **Insert: I am a better mommy, wife, person, and friend when I can run.  Hands DOWN**.

This is my test – In the beginning of the year, I said that I would meet challenges with maturity.  And that I would fight to find my own potential.  This is my fight.  One of many, I’m sure.  So, if this is a test to see if I meant what I said, I meant what I said.

She concludes with a Top ten things I learned during 5 weeks of cross training in her complete post, check it out.

We need to 'pay attention to our body'. That's why taking my vitamins and biosil daily was that important to me. You also need to work out and burns those calories down.

I wonder if the medical clinics seattle were present at this event. I'm glad that this type of event was organized giving opportunity to thousands of people to be treated from their different medical conditions. Hopefully, medical clinics would organized these type of events more often in the future.
