Week of December 29 (23)

Monday 29

Ran the North Boundary with some of the Roadkill Runners. I was surprised I was feeling better, however at about 5 miles my left knee started hurting. I spent the afternoon and evening rehabbing my knee.

Perfect preparation doesn’t exist. Excellent adaptation does. - Lauren Fleshman.

I tried to run and could not. My left knee is injured and I need to adapt again. I'm thinking about going to an every other day run plan with doubles. Maybe?

Wednesday 31

Today I struggle, tomorrow I am strong. - Me

Thursday 1

2014 was a good year for me. I ran 1085 miles. I set a couple PRs and ran three new distances. 

Running is an interesting endeavor; you're constantly chasing something. I chase times, miles, other runners; I chase injuries around my body, mental toughness.
