Personal Best

Have you ever had a situation where you thought you were doing something better than you have ever done only to find out you didn't? Monday, Lance Armstrong told me that I had accomplished a personal best for the mile! Well, it was his voice anyway, which is a feature for my Nike+Ipod contraption.

So today I was, at least I thought I was, flying during my run. I was so sure I had not only posted my best time for my mile but for my five mile run to date. So, after I finished the run I listened to the summary and waited for Lance to congratulate me on my blazing time....Silence. Oh well. The good thing is that I was only 22 seconds slower from my best time for five miles coming in at 45:10 and my overall pace was much better than Monday's pace and I'm sure I was probably an eyelash away from my best time for a mile yet, but I have to sync my IPod to find out that particular detail.

So when I didn't hear Lance I just kind of laughed out loud to myself. The best thing about this run today was that I had no pain whatsoever from the tendinitis in my left knee. Usually by mile four I am in a great deal of pain and it lasts at least for two days. Today I made sure to stay on my toes when I ran and stretched and iced right after the run and I was relieved there was no pain. The thing about that knee pain is it makes it very hard to sit and meditate! But at least for now I won't have that problem. Funny, that is probably the only problem I have in my life. Huh, that's pretty crazy.

Oh, by the way I'll have some details soon on how you can donate to CRSF.
