I ran 3.5 miles this dark, early morning.
I stumbled over a dead possum.
I felt good my whole run.
At about noon today (6 hours after my run) my bad knee started aching again. It is like a tooth ache on the inside of my knee. I am a little concerned that it could be something more than tendonitis.
It is a pretty hopeless feeling knowing that I will have a "last" run.
It is a pretty hopeless feeling when your body doesn't do what it used to do . .doesn't look like it used to . . .doesn't work the way it once did . .. I don't mean this in a vanity type of way, not even in an athletic type of way . . . just a human type of way. Life is moving far too fast for me right now. Not just my life .. but my wife's life and my kids' life . . .I wish that I could "pause" things right now.
I found this quote yesterday and it may be (other than the promises in the bible) the closest thing to truth (for me) that I know.
