I went running again with my dad today. We ran about 6 km along the beach, the same route we took yesterday. There was icy snow on the street so it was so slippery. It was also cold (probably around 2 C or 35 F) and windy. My back was hurting. It was pretty much the worst condition ever. But it turned out to be a great opportunity to train my body and mind.
I decided my back was hurting because my running posture wasn’t correct. I tried to run leaning slightly forward, keeping my back straight at the same time. That little change not only let my back pain go away but also made it easier for my legs to slide forward to my surprise. When I realized, I was running faster than before, without any pain in my back. That was the best present from today’s run and made me so happy and grateful.
I feel I’ve been getting stronger both physically and mentally each day since I started running seriously. I know I will become even stronger, as long as I keep trying. So I will never give up. I will keep running.
