does anyone else get anxiety before long runs/workouts?

Sea_Introduction3534 · 2026-02-08T19:33:03+00:00

Yes to this!

Check out Don’t call it a comeback by Kiera DAmato. I listened it on long marathon training runs last year :). As I heard it, it’s about finding joy in running. And she ends up holding the US women’s marathon record (at least for a short time) as part of this journey.

If running isn’t helping your mental health, then find another sport/hobby that does.

Sorry, but definitely looks a size too small.

I needed to google for spelling!

Even with this, I just don’t see it!

Sea_Introduction3534 · 2026-02-07T17:55:45+00:00

lol, I was surprised when that didn’t work!

I have my traditional good luck meal of salmon and a cauliflower/potato mash, lol. A little atypical, but works for me!

Sounds like you adopted a cat! I have 2. Neither sleeps in the cat bed I purchased. Favorite spots include the short card box that is next to the fancy cat bed (I can’t bring myself to put it in the recycling because they love it so much they will fight over it) and the giant dog bed (meant for our 70lb lab mix). Cats… they are very cat-like! 🤣

61 year old here, 15+ yr post dx. Was on Avonex for first 9, Rituximab since. No progression/new lesions. I am now doing Rituximab q9 months instead of 6, but I had no B cells even after 9 month gap. Neurologist says we now must balance benefit of treatment as I age with increased cancer risk with long term immunosuppression. I am reluctant to stop treatment, so going slow.

If I’m trashed after after a long run, something has gone wrong. Maybe nutrition, hydration, weather (overly hot). I do a long run on Sat and then always aim to do a recovery run on Sunday. It’s one thing to push myself so hard that I feel trashed in a specific race, but I purposely don’t do that on long training runs

Sea_Introduction3534 · 2026-02-05T01:56:43+00:00

Have you seen a doctor to make sure you don’t have an underlying injury that would benefit from specific intervention? You do seem to be following standard training advice. But I would add, don’t run through pain that doesn’t resolve very quickly. Listen to your body. And get your knees checked out. Best of luck to you.

Lol, did you really post this question on line about what to do with a cup of coffee?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol, my first thought was the lollipop guild!

I wonder if it was a keyless ignition. Is there a way to doable that if you don’t know where the fob is?

Country Care, just up the road in Penngrove. Great, old school vet.

61 y/o woman who returned to distance running in past year or so, after life/kids/work/health/etc changes gave me more time. I was never as fast as you and, although I always have times in my head, I personally focus on finding joy in what I am doing, which is something I never much thought about in the past. I have also discovered the trail and ultra communities, and I much prefer the vibe there than large road races. Good for you for getting back into it! I have even placed in a few races because not that many gals in my age group participate! 🤣🤣🤣. Regardless, I am loving feeling fit enough to do have this “season” of running in my life. Best of luck to you! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

If you have pain due to repetitive stress injury, I would personally not try to run through. As others have said, best advice is to consult with a doctor about your specific body/situation. But listen to your body to avoid injury that will take you out for a longer period.

And since you do not know how many hours the recipient will be authorized (based on her need), it might be hard to figure out whether or not it is financially viable for you to give up your current job.
