If you PR with an injury, the injury happened for you and not to you

Most runners understandably feel like a victim of an over-training injury.

They say something like, "Well, I was feeling strong, I was feeling ready for my race, I was really feeling great, and then this happened to me. I got a stress fracture, I got Achilles tendonitis, I got peroneal tendonitis, got plantar fasciitis, something happened to me and now I feel like I've lost all my fitness and I can't run my race." 

Well, most of the time we just reflexively think that things happen to us, but sometimes things really do happen for us. 

What do I mean by that? Well, sometimes the bad thing actually has a silver lining that you can't even see.
