Overcome with Emotion

This morning, I did a 10 minute yoga flow from Apple Fitness+. When I started, I set the intention to feel strong and continued on with one of the more difficult flows I have done through this app without knowing ahead of time that it would be hard. About 8.6 minutes in, we flowed into a mountain pose as the climax of the workout. It felt so good to get to this point. I felt strong and accomplished as tears ran down my face, and I was overcome with emotion. This has never happened before, but I hope it happens again. I want to feel empowered every time I exercise.

Gym Again

Being sidelined has been difficult. I want to go running, but it hurts and makes things worse. I should probably go to the doctor because I keep exacerbating the injury by doing things like walking around in flip flops or walking barefoot on the beach. I do know that when I wear shoes that are more supportive, it seems to help. I am trying to come up with a plan that will help me get back into exercise and get me out of the house that won't make my heel/ ankle hurt.

For now, my plan is to go to the gym. I signed back up for Planet Fitness a few days ago and plan to go today when I get off work. I don't know how long it will last this time. All I know is that I need this right now.
