In third grade, my teacher had a large styrofoam elf that was running with a large pocket watch. Mrs. Aul told us that when we didn't focus on our task this elf will run away with our time. Lost time forces you to rush and possibly make mistakes. I can still see that smiling elf looking at me - ready to run at the first opportunity that my focus should drift.
Being hurt sucks.
While I am running again, my left knee is still feeling pain as the milage increases. Yesterday (Wednesday), I spent the last few miles in a seven mile run trying to find "the sweet spot" in my left leg's stride to avoid the pain. I remind myself not to run hurt because favoring a leg may cause more problems. If this continues, I will go see a sports med. doc... and that will be followed up with PT.
Now that elf from Mrs. Aul's third grade class is running away from me and I feel like I may not be able to catch him. God damn, the elf is fast. z
