My Left Leg

Dang my left leg. I keep thinking I have is strong enough to go back to running more, longer and faster. Despite all my other exercises and activities, as soon as my leg feels better, I drift towards more running. It is familiar and seems to satisfy my deepest need to push myself. The downside is that it goes great for a couple of weeks, leading me to believe that my leg is 100%. It is more like 75% when it starts performing and feeling better. Bummer. I am resigned to the fact I will always have to do a well rounded exercise program. One long run a week, 2 shorter and faster runs. MAXIMUM! I wish I could get this through my thick skull. I have had my moments in the sun with running. Days when the pace was quick, my stride efficent and the rewards tangible. Time to search for another outlet that gives me the same feeling. Mountain biking is coming around . Or maybe cage fighting? Gotta go lift some weights for that...
