"If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon." Emil Zatopek
Our long run took us to 9 miles today and it was another hot and humid fall day. Those 3 words are not supposed to be used together - hot, humid, fall. I am soooooo wishing for consistent fall Saturdays. And...in about a month and a half, I will sooooo be wishing it wasn't winter. I feel like we are getting cheated out of fall right now.
I mentally defeated myself today. I started out mentally defeating myself before I even got out of bed. The dark mornings are making it tough to get up on Saturdays and coupled with the knee and ankle problems I've had since last Saturday, 9 miles had me freaked out today - and 9 isn't even half of 26. I went into the physical therapist this week and had my feet casted for new orthodics but they won't be in for another week. I'm hoping this will help do the trick though. I'm choosing to ignore what role the age factor plays in all this. Left ankle, right knee. One is compensating for the other. And, I really need the right brain to start overcompensating for the left. The mental challenge has begun. Comments welcome.
