It's funny sometimes

How old tendencies creep back without you even realizing them. I suppose the key is what we do about them once they are there. It's been awhile since I've run regularly and well documented the details of beating the past demons that would rather have me sit on the couch than run. I think that I had even beaten them, rid of them for good. Well, this is not the case. I was scheduled to run yesterday and put it off until it was either too late or too akward to fit. I had four excuses and a couple in reserve if they didn't hold up. Now there is some validity to not wanting to reinjure my leg, true, but if that was really a concern I should just take some more time off and make SURE that it won't be an issue. What the key problem here is the one in my head. So today I decided to not listen to the ongoing reasons as to why I shouldn't run and just got ready and went out. I ran slower than usual for personal reasons but I ran. That simple. 27:02 ~ 5km, 5:22 per km.
