Wishing you a speedy recovery full of that perspective and sense of gratitude.

]]> Comment on Motivational quotes for injured athletes by Caity http://amyreinink.com/2010/03/10/motivational-quotes-for-injured-athletes/#comment-4367 Sun, 27 May 2012 02:58:01 +0000 http://amyreinink.com/?p=1663#comment-4367 I’m so happy I came across this site when I did. I am a runner as well…I have been plagued with injuries since I was 14 when I broke my hip while running. I am now 23 and getting ready to run my second marathon and while on a training run last Wednesday I was hit by a car that ran a stop sign. Thankfully I was not seriously injured but it is still inconclusive as to if I’ll need surgery on my knee. I’m trying to keep my head up as I come to terms with the fact that I will not be running for some time and I may have to postpone my marathon. I LOVE me some Steve Prefontaine and I have a quote of his on my mirror so everyday I see it and take it to heart. “To Give Anything Less Than Your Best Is To Sacrafice The Gift.” Sometimes that gift is an athletic ability but sometimes the gift is just living another day. I am very fortunate that I could walk away from my accident and I will never take another day for granted. I will run again and I will truely live each and everyday that I am given!

So glad you had an ok experience in a “bad race” — it feels so good to have that kind of perspective.

I didn’t look at the course closely enough! My quads actually just relaxed a little at that happy realization.

Except that there’s no hill in the race course this year!
