I was supposed to run today...

...but disappointed myself. I woke up vaguely sore from my run yesterday. Knee 1 and Knee 2 told me it wasn't a good idea to run 5 miles today. I was a bit disgruntled. How am I supposed to meet my 100-mile goal this month if I don't get in my 25 miles this week? I had to make an important decision--run today, and risk injuring myself, but keep the mileage I need, or take a day off and lose my mileage and save my knees some unnecessary pain. I chose the latter. I felt a bit discouraged all day, feeling like I let myself down, but I think it was the right decision. This one day of missing a run probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but I really am taking my goal seriously. I have never challenged myself like this, and I truly do want to exceed my expectations...Hopefully tomorrow my legs will be done protesting, and I'll be back on the treadmill for 5 miles and a possible encounter with Mr. Putrid.
