Help! I am so depressed!

Hey Bobbi! Sorry to hear about your injury. I think you are doing a darn good job of trying to be positive - that really takes strength. Hope your injury heals soon. Don't forget to keep up with good nutrition. Also, please don't be a stranger. I miss your posts a lot. I have learnt so much from you - especially never to give up my beloved carbs.

PS - Viewed your pics and you look so pretty. Take care.
 
Bobbi,

Your post is very moving. I am a newcomer to this forum (this is my first post), but I had to respond. I've been lurking forever and reading the archives, and I have to say that your posts have always been so motivating and helpful. I am a runner as well, and have always gleaned wonderful pointers from you. I wish you all the best, and hope the new year is kinder to you.

Hi Bobbi

I have mixed feelings about bringing this post back up on your special day but I would like to respond. Actually I'd like to give you a little kick in the backside with loads of sympathy.

Running was an integral part of your lifestyle & fitness, but you need to refocus on what you can do now. You can find another source of endorphins! If you want to stay in running shape - acqua jogging. If you're more open to new types of cardio, the options are many. I guarantee that a Spinning class can get those endorphins fired up.

As for not being able to do the new Cathe workouts - baloney! You can work on the best darn upperbody & core in Arizona! It's a great time to work on flexibility & balance for that matter.

Several of us have gotten the running bug and we miss your counsel and enthusiasm. But if the topic brings more pain than joy, we understand.

I reread Paula Newby-Frasers book "Peak Performance" at the start of every year for inspiration. She's semi-retired from triathlons now as she has a rule about sleeping in her own bed. Her primary focus was the Hawaiian Ironman. I think her discussion of managing an injury (stress fracture in foot) which prevented her from running might help you. She has a wonderful chapter on body image & the difference between health & fitness (which I wish everyone here would read). You might also be inspired by this book.

Take care Bobbi.
