Out of my own way

Another step in my running recovery.

As well as my mile-and-a-bit yesterday morning, I went to help out with the fantastic Sarah's Runners, last night, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Then another mile-and-a-bit this morning.

With my finger noticeably improving on a daily basis, the mouth ulcer, which I've been suffering with for the past ten days, pretty much gone, and another progression with my running, my body is doing a superb job at the old healing process.

I've heard it said before, and I do think it's true, that sometimes we just have to get out of our own way.

If I was actually trying to heal myself from my running injury, my finger slicing and my mouth ulcer, I would have worried a lot about what was the best course of action, researched it in detail, tried various solutions and then fretted because I wasn't doing it properly.

Admittedly, I am doing a lot more stretching now, particularly after my running, but that is not so much healing , as learning from the previous errors of my ways, and adapting my habits so the same mistakes are less likely to be made.

I wonder in what other areas of my life could I do with getting out of my own way?
