I loved reading this!! I'm a competitive show jumper and runner too, although running has been rocky for the past 2+ years due to tendon tightness issues. Part of me still believes somehow riding is constricting my hip/muscle movement but I refuse to give up that part of my life, even though having to stop running was like losing a part of me. I know what it's like to love both of those sports more than life!! I hope I can continue to do both but I know the reality is I might not be able to, whether it's cost/time with horses or my body giving out again with running.
