Go ahead, poke the bear...

Sharon and I rocked our 4-miler today!  We both came to the run very irritated with other people and basically sprinted our anger out in the 1st two miles and then felt so darn good, we ran strong for the last 2. 
The new training plan is now to pick a fight with loved ones and co-workers before our runs - our husbands will be so happy to hear this. 

It was a good run for me also because I've felt those similar aches and pains that accompanied my previous injuries coming back.  Now, thankfully, because I've been a good girl and visited my doctors, I know what to do to help avoid those injuries. 

However, once you've been through an injury, it leaves a little fear in your head.  That gnawing worry that you will be taken off your course again and will not finish the races that you want to finish this year.  My patience might not last another round of physical therapy.

I will work on quieting that fear because I don't want to hold back in my training this year.  I told Justin last week that I will force my body into cooperation with my training goals.  I really am a doctor's worst nightmare. 

Today's carbs - Dixie Chicken Nachos at Thomas Street Tavern!  Just a little hint for any beginners out there - don't eat them two hours before you run.  Maybe there was another reason I ran so fast.....
