1 mile around the track.
I limped the last 2 laps.
5 hours I am really paying the price.
My knee seems to be locking up.
I feel like a slob.
My body is used to burning 500 calories before the sun comes up and 1,000 to 2,000 on Sunday mornings..
Take that away and see what happens.
I've been lifting weights at the Y every day but that is not the same for me.
Crazy how just a few weeks ago I ran 20 miles and now I can't make it around the track 4 times. I could withstand the pain for 3 or 4 miles if I knew that I wasn't causing further damage.
Mark this post down as a bitch session because that's what it is . . . .I spent my whole summer training for something that seems a million years away.
All I want to do is beat the crap out of myself on the road again, sweat, perservere, overcome, defeat . . .all of the stuff that running gives you. Instead, I am going to head to the pantry and get another cookie!
