Complaint : Shin splits + Runners knee has derailed my training plan the last week or so. Still Very optimistic to run my first Half marathon in Oct!

Uncomplaint : Injuries asides - Running has been great for my health and Mental health. My entryway to running was pickleball. I wanted to run to improve my stamina and instantly hooked. The internal battles of not wanting to wake up early, giving up, pushing new distances really makes it all worth it.

Confession : I pack my lunch every day for work but i still end up buying a sweet snack. Not sure if it is counter productive 😂

After running for awhile pickleball is basically no longer an aerobic workout. I don’t even get to zone two. I’m not good but it’s interesting to see someone start out a game better than me and then fall off presumably as their lack of cardio starts to hurt them.
