a person becomes "a runner"? Is it when one runs three miles in the pouring rain? I pondered this while getting drenched tonight. I headed out for a run tonight, though I had planned to take the day off b/c I had done a lot yesterday. Anyway, I headed over to the race track where I run and just as I got there it started raining but I didn't want to miss it so went anyway. I was planning to do my usual 4 laps which is 2 miles but felt so good I ended up doing 6 laps!! THREE MILES!! Without stopping once. YAY ME!!
I considered going farther because my legs weren't sore and my breathing was fine, but my stinking knees were starting to ache. And now I'm stuck with my knee brace on. I may have to force myself to skip tomorrow if it doesn't feel any better. I'm loving that I'm actually wanting to do this and wanting to do more and more...now if only my knees would get with teh program!
