Thanks for asking Grizzly.<br><br>
For those not familiar with the situation, I have a couple of old injuries (torn right medial meniscus in the knee, fractured left ankle) that have slowed me over the years. My body and I have come to an uneasy cease-fire...I don't run more than 3 days in a row (and only once a day), and it doesn't bother me. If I alter that deal, my body lets me know I shouldn't be doing that. That's what I call "The Contract With My Body".<br><br>
That said, last week I broke the contract on Tuesday. I ran a 4th day in a row (just an easy 3.4 miles), because on Wednesday was the snowstorm here (and I bet you thought I was going to say it was because I had a date for Valentines Day! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> ). Afterwards, I didn't feel too bad. Maybe my body didn't notice.<br><br>
Yesterday, I decided to run the 4th day in a row (again, a slow, easy 3.4 miles), because today was scheduled to be my hill-repeats workout, which takes about 1:45:00 with the warmup and cooldown. It's 16 degrees here right now with wind-chills well below 0. Tomorrow is supposed to be near 40 degrees.<br><br>
When I saw the forecast on Sunday morning, I said to myself "If I run today (sunday), I can take Monday off when it's windy and cold, and then run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday when it's going to be in the 30s and 40s."<br><br>
So, there was a method to my madness. <img alt="idea.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/idea.gif"> Muwahhahahahaha.<br><br>
Great efforts out there today folks! Keep up the awesome work!
