I'd like to think, "careful".
My mind and conditioning keep telling me "cave" or "crumble".
But I'm trying to be sensible and channel the New Me.
After having this pain when I started my run, and then an uncomfortable pressure every time I started from a stoplight - this being a too frequent occurence in DC at 7:30am or later - I made a decision.
"I'm stopping now and turning around", I told Suave. I called him when I got to the Lincoln Memorial. I knew it would be hard for me to turn around and give up on an 11 mile run I had planned today.
But I've got another planned for tomorrow.
Thus, the call. I knew, if I told him, I'd have to keep my side of the bargain.
So hoping for a better one tomorrow.
It's not always bad to cave. Sometimes that's just being careful.
6 miles......

Smart! Not a cave or crumble.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Helen, definitely smart!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying! And I'm going to wear compression tights on my run today, if I can get them on! And be prepared to stop if it hurts too much. It's mainly when I start from a standstill but it's kinda painful!
ReplyDeleteHelen, if you are doing the Staten Island Half, good luck!
And Rebecca, you know I wish I could do the Bed Stuy 10k with you!
