What Happens When Running Is Taken Away

This episode of Runnah is just me. No guest. No hype. No pretending.I’m dealing with ongoing foot issues, chronic illness, and the very real reality of not being able to run right now—and honestly? That’s hard to say out loud. Running has always been my outlet, my grounding force, my way of making sense of things… and right now, it’s not there in the way I want it to be.So this is me checking in. Talking about grief, frustration, fear, and what it feels like when your body puts you on pause without asking your permission. It’s messy. It’s emotional. It’s not tied up with a neat bow.If you’re injured, sidelined, navigating chronic pain, disability, or just feeling disconnected from the thing that once made you feel like you—I see you. You’re still a runner. You still belong here. And you’re not failing because your body needs something different right now.Runnah has always been about more than miles. It’s about the full story—the joy, the struggle, the waiting, the coming back (whenever that looks like).Thanks for being here. Thanks for listening. And thanks for holding space with me.💛 If this episode resonates, feel free to like, comment, share, or send it to someone who might need it today.
