Good news, my leg is doing better now. I took two days off and played basketball on Sunday. It is Monday morning and I don't feel any pain when I walk. I'll start running again tomorrow, probably another 6:1 for 30:00 at Highview Park.
Question: have you ever heard of Steve Prefontaine? If not, it is about time you have. I'm not going to write a bio here (you can read about him here and here and watch his story in the films Fire on the Track, Prefontaine, and Without Limits), but I'll just say that Pre, as they call him, is a running legend. His story is inspiring, motivating, and sad. He died when he was only 24. He competed with heart and guts, and watching him makes you ask yourself why you're not giving it all you've got. He is quoted as saying: "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."
I can't wait to run tomorrow.
