Didn't get to post yesterday. Busy weekend. We were supposed to run 12 miles yesterday, but didn't get that far. Both feeling injured and listened to our bodies. Was nice to have someone running with me to talk it out with. Normally it's a mental battle between the "I-Can-Do-It/Fight-Through-It" person and the "Ouch-This-Really-Hurts/Could-It-Be-An-Injury" selves. We decided, this close to race day (two weeks) to err on the side of caution. That, too, can be mentally defeating. I am grateful-grateful to have a running partner who cares about me and my well being, while knowing I am strong. We also spent time with our families, writing our Thankful Feather Letters! I am grateful for family and friends to send them to. :)
