well, despite the bone-chilling cold, i ran all the miles i set out to run this week. i did the 6 miles today and it felt great. i finished feeling like i could have easily run another couple of miles. and that's despite the fact that there were 4 or 5 inches of fresh snow on the ground, which made a bit tough to keep my footing. the last half mile was on relatively clear asphalt and it actually felt really good to hit a clean stride - no pain whatsoever during the run. a few more weeks and i might be ready to officially declare myself fully recovered.
next week, i think i'll keep the junk miles the same and add a mile or two on to the long run.
just in time for summer - look snazzy and support the site at the same time by buying some snowdeal schwag!
"I think you devise your own limits for your own personal convenience. There are some people who wish to have limits, and they'll invent as many boxes for themselves as they want. It's like, you know, men invented armor. They wanted to protect themselves from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and so forth. And people do the same thing psychically and psychologically. They build their own armor. They build their own rathole, whatever it is. And they choose their existence. Whether they do it consciously or whether it is helped along by a government or an education system, somebody is helping to shape this imaginary box you live in, but it doesn't have to be there."
