Help.

“This is really getting me down... I’ve had this for months, I’ve seen a podiatrist and it’s not getting better. It’s funny how this happened right smack in the middle of the time when things started spiralling downwards... and I started doing shorter sprints to relieve all that pent-up anger inside… Can't help but wonder sometimes if this is God’s way of punishing me, haha. Injuring my foot and taking running away from me. ”

Nervous laughter.

“Ya think God is punishing me? (laughs)”

Pause.


More nervous laughter.


“No, I don’t think so, Jia. I think He’s helping you to let go of what running means to you. You’ve been trying so hard to let things go- I think He’s just helping you.”
