Getting Used to Injuries One of the most annoying things about being passionate about something new, something that’s fairly physical, is my tendency to get injured. Usually it’s nothing severe, but it can still stop me from doing the things I love from time to time. I’ve been an on-and-off runner for the past ten years or so, but due to various injuries it’s been mostly off. I strained the soles of my feet a couple of years ago, which led me to completely stop running for a long while.
