I'll stop if it hurts.
How many times have you said that before a run?
Just a few days after Jan posted about runners and our lack of intelligence sometimes, I found myself making a questionable call.
Right before my run today, I tweaked my ankle. I don't even really know what happened. I was moving from standing to sitting on the floor, and somewhere in the middle of that motion, something really painful happened. Really painful.
I gave it a few minutes, moved it around, hopped on it, and decided - I'll stop if it hurts.
Which of course is a lie. Something has to really, seriously hurt for me to stop once I'm running.
Luckily, it didn't hurt and I was able to knock out my tempo run for the day. I did a warm up, 4 miles @ 9:14 and a cool down for a total of 6 miles.
After my run, Buddy and I went and hung out in the yard for a bit. I can't wait until we have a yard that I can set him loose in.
Work was only slightly better than yesterday (nap time is still terrible), but at least I got to leave almost on time!
