It
was another rainy day, so I elected to head back to the park for a run. It had only been three days since my last
run, which is the closest I’ve put runs in quite some time, so I had concerns
about hurting something though I didn’t know what.
By
ten minutes in, I was feeling great and wondering if running wasn’t going to
fit back into my routine. What I wasn’t
thinking clearly about is that normally I need to build back time and miles
slowly and I wasn’t doing that. I’d run
35 minutes on Thursday and should probably be going only 20 today…but I was
aiming at 35 again. I began to feel
twinges in my left calf around 20 minutes and stopped to stretch it out before
continuing the run. By 26 minutes I was
through. The pain was severe and I’d be
laying off for a week most likely.
Why
can’t I learn? My training has been less
than adequate, but I return to it like I’ve been going hard every day. I know better, but refuse to learn. Well…definition of insanity…doing the same
thing over and over and expecting different results.
I
watched ‘Trouble with the Curve’ with my father-in-law and he loved it. He said it was the best movie he’s seen in a
long time. I think he related well to
the 82-year old Clint Eastwood using experience and years on hands-on knowledge
to do a job. He has lots of spunk in the
movie and it’s a great story. Baseball
is the backdrop only and I think anyone would enjoy it.
