Ok, so I have been thinking of about my exercise routine recently, and it got me also thinking about you. Let me tell you a story. My main routine recently is getting up and walking first thing in the morning, just breathing in the fresh morning air to get my body moving, my blood pumping. My head and my body clears and it feels so good. So good to get outside first thing and just to connect.
But I think back years ago and there used to be a time when I couldn't run. I couldn't run! I have this interesting condition in my body called fitness-induced urticaria, which means when I would start running, like, my body would break out in these horrible internal hives, that would really create a painful burning feeling all over. Especially around the joints, the sensation it would really discourage me from wanting to do impact-based exercise.
It sucked because I really love running, like, it's a lot of fun! And now I don't get to do what I love; to go out running outside or running on the treadmill or whatever, because of that painful, painful feeling was really discouraging for me to feel, so I just I couldn't run. I would avoid it at all times.
And at the time I was seeing a PT and he said “we're gonna do a running assessment on you” and I instantly thought how I do not want to do it, because I was expecting so much pain. The day comes, and I strap on my shoes, get on the treadmill there in the running store - by the way so it's all open where everyone can see - and so he turns the treadmill on and turns it up and up and up, and then he turns it down and says I'm running wrong. What?
The phrase he said to me completely changed my relationship with running - I was able to start running afterward because of this one thing that he said. And also years and years later I will I've applied this phrase and this mindset to how I approach and how I think about my business, and this is what he said to me: “you're running wrong because your heels are pounding the pavement, I want you instead to run like a ninja.”
Let's talk about it!
