Day 2,498 —Still Doing Everything Wrong— (Misty Mountains and Sunrise by the River)

I was in no rush to get outside today knowing that as the day prolongs the sun becomes more prominent. I was thinking about how angry I was at myself for not being able to do more and to not be able to enjoy my runs more. I feel pretty good, but my heal has been bothering me. I am determined to take it slow, so I don’t reinjure myself, but it is tough mentally. I could ride my bike if it was warmer. 

I am sure other people have it a lot worse than me, and I am proud of myself for still doing something, but in a very real way I am disappointed with myself for not being able to progress in a more linear fashion. Why is it always like this? I always end up having to take a step back after I take a step forward. The only positive is it keeps me more sympathetic towards others when they struggle. Part of me thinks that I have no right to struggle or be upset.
