I headed out this morning to hoping that the rain would hold off for a quick 4mile run to start the week. I did not know that my day would bring two things that I have not had to experience with in my running to yet.
After about a mile in, I saw what I think was a dog strolling down the road in front of me. As I come closer, the animal moved off the road and into the yard of a near by house to watch me run by. Once I was close enough, I saw that it is actually the coyote that the neighborhood watch has been warning about. I should have stopped to take a picture, but I decided to keep on moving and not look like a wounded animal he could eat for breakfast.
I am still a little sore from the marathon and dealing with a few aches and pains in my knees. They have not been to bad but this morning after running ~5K I got a sharp pain in my right knee. It is also time for a new pair of shoes, and I have been working on changing my gait and turnover rate. With all these contributing factors, and the pain I decided to call it quits for the first time ever and the 1/4Mile walk home. At least the rain held off.
I got home and iced my knees and will do it again tonight. Tomorrow I will probably head to the Gym or take the day off.... I don't think I can take the mental aspect of an injury right now.
