I want to go for a run, but a part of me is terrified that someone will make fun of me, or that I will further injure myself.
How do you get past the biggest obstacle for me, which is fear of others??? I know I look awful when I run, and can only imagine how people see me when my extra large body bounces in sync with my every step??
I think that is my biggest issue. My knee still bugs me, but I have been doing the elliptical / treadmill / stationary bike without much issue. I have felt the knee try to roll on me, and that's a warning for me to adjust a little.
The trail I want to go on is right beside an elementary school and is a popular course for runners / dog - walkers / bikers.
Thanks!
