Biting the bullet.

My left leg and knee hurt bad all day long. I was using every excuse in the book to talk myself out of running. I kept telling myself that I have the training to gut through Las Vegas. Sure, to do that again and cross the finish line looking like death warmed over. "Oh", I will most likely look like that anyway. I decided to bite the bullet yesterday and get back on the master plan. I am glad that I did. Around mile 4 the IT Band finally let up and stopped hurting as bad. Knee still hurt but not much more than normal. I did quite a bit of walking, "walking is ok; if I have to walk to get through the workout, so be it, workouts will get better even with the walking, just walk if that get you through the workout, walking is ok, walking is ok, ok ok to walk...." After all the years of training you would think I would know my body better than I do. Why do I keep going day after day when I know that I need an easy week so I don't break down. Run consistently without breaking down or maybe. Run smart so I can be consistent in my running
