Trying to Get That Groove Back -- Kind of Personal.

I have been battling the negative voices in my head for a while. I had chased away those demons years ago, but they have sneaked back into my psyche. The tipping point came when I got some very unexpected and negative feedback about something last week and it went downhill from there. My inner voice kept saying, "You're a loser. You're an idiot." This not only affected my self-esteem but I also let it affect my running.

I reached out to a group on Facebook for runners over 50 and got a lot of interesting feedback.

I'm going to incorporate some of that advice into my life and running as I continue this journey. Sometimes I forget to be grateful for the ability to run, much less how it makes me feel. Sometimes, you need to live in the moment.
