I kinda like that quote, the title of this post. Well, its my quote.
One day a long time ago I was sucking wind in a hard road race. I was pushing the red line and didn't want to let the course beat me. When I crossed the line, I raised my arms and yelled at the course, "I kicked your ass!" It symbolizes my dominant thought at not giving up on something.
Today I said it when I completed the run outside my office. Last week, still feeling the effects of the flu and not being properly acclimatized, I bonked hard, physically and mentally. Today was my attempt to just go slow and easy and overcome both those obstacles.
I did that and more. I ran farther than I wanted and felt fresh doing it. Oh sure my knees and shins felt a bit sore, just like every person's does when they are inconsistant in running but I know very well, that will be gone by next week after two or three more sessions.
Thank you for all your personal blogs that I have read the last couple days that have helped get me back out there. Sick is not cool.
