I ran three miles last night. It hurt. A lot. I walked. A lot. My time was shameful. Just under 30 minutes. Not really sure where to go from here. My right knee is giving up on me.
I thought it was just something I could run through. Then, I thought it was just something that would take a week or two to rest and then be fine....Trav still thinks that....unfortunately he can't feel the pain so I don't think that he understands quite how much it hurts. I can usually tolerate pain fairly well....not like Travis can, but golly, this hurts.
I really would like to run the half. I felt that I was progressing and that I could have done well...but it's been a month since ANY progression. Maybe next year...or after I can get surgery one day.
"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."-George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian
