I am grateful for my injury. A year ago, I would have never imagined I’d say that. It’s certainly easier now, on the other side, to see beyond the struggle and heartache, to appreciate the lessons. When I surprised myself with a 9-minute half-marathon PR in the spring of 2018, I became intoxicated by the idea of getting faster. I believed I had all this speed I’d never tapped into before, and if I just worked at it, I could run a BQ. So I jumped right into an aggressive training plan filled with speed work, goal-pace runs and many more weekly miles than I’d ever run before. I did get faster—but I was stacking block upon block to build a soaring tower with a nonexistent foundation. It’s no wonder it eventually came crashing down. It took me a while to recognize that my injury was of my own making. And then I realized I could do it all differently and create a better outcome. I’ve spent the last year slowly moving cinder blocks into place. There’s one for strength. There’s another for stability. Another for form. And, to fill in the gaps between those: plenty of patience. Determination. Persistence. Belief. I’ve built my foundation. Every step of this marathon, I’ll run on that foundation. I have every reason to believe it will get me to the finish line feeling healthy and happy. And then? I’ll look forward to my next goal and start stacking my blocks: a speed workout here, a few more miles there. But not too many. Not too fast. And I’ll continue to work on all the things that will keep my foundation strong. I wonder: How high can my tower go? (Photo taken after my successful 20-mile run. I was tired. 😄) #marathontraining #jackandjillmarathon #runninginjury #runningcomeback #sijointinjury #sijointdysfunction #strongernow https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_NkZuH0D-/?igshid=1dxi3gohrwf51

✨ In this episode of Sandee After Dark I recorded a real therapy session I had recently (just today). I started doing the work of healing my childhood trauma just about 3 years ago. I stopped last year and did my own private session with myself all alone. I did the hard work alone for 6 months and recently started seeing my therapist again. I thought it would be perfect to capture this moment of me sharing my private therapy session in hopes that it helps some one else start looking at herself differently and since my series on childhood traumas and how it can affect our adulthood it seemed fitting. I will always be authentic and vulnerable because I know my transparency isn’t for fame, likes, follows, or success. I am open in the hopes that I help another woman to not only see her amazing beauty but feel the amazing power she’s had all along but have been holding herself back. It’s time to heal and become that Goddess you were born to be. Peace & Many Blessings.💞 — #childhoodtrauma #childhoodsexualabuse #strongernow #imincontrol https://www.instagram.com/p/CE0UA87nZ53/?igshid=qpcn4v85lv1c
