Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. huh...
To say my patience is being tested is an understatement. After successfully completing my first 5K my natural inclination was to sign up for a 10K. Unfortunately not being able to run, or walk at times, for the past seven weeks has put that on hold for the moment. Patience in this case will entail going back into running slowly...very slowly. Slower than I ever could imagine. I thought slow would be starting out at one mile and getting back to 3 in a week or so. It looks more like I'll be working on it by the MINUTE as in, walk 9 minutes, run 1, walk another 9, walk 1. Then in two days I can increase to 2 minutes and so on.
I did attempt to run a mile a few weeks ago and I was able to. The problem was the next day I couldn't walk again so I realized that I need to listen to my body and stop what I'm doing because it just isn't working.
