Much has happened over the past four days, time I have spent away from running in an effort to better heal my left knee which during my most recent run, felt as though it had given out. Following this previous Monday, I iced my knee (with good ol' Birdseye frozen veggies... they adapt perfectly to the contours of my bony knees!) and limped around the house and suddenly the next day, "things" felt fine. Not to be seduced by a sudden "healing," I rested... until this morning.
There were actually a number of races at various distances (5k up to a 10 miler) that I had considered registering for this morning, but with many things to do, and little expendable cash, I opted for a solo, long, slow distance run... this way I could get out and about without a) spending ca$h and be back home in time to get my wife the coffee from Bruegger's that she has craved since returning home from the hospital a few days ago... a duty that my early hours during the work week have precluded me from meeting.
For just a few hours, all has the potential to be "good with the world"... shortly following a brief fifteen minute respite with a bag of frozen vegetables!
