2017 miles Day 189

Took yesterday off, and today my knee feels 100%.  Think that was a smart move.  Listen to your body.  If you push too hard, push through the pain, push beyond what your body can handle, you will risk a more serious injury.  I know this sounds counter to what you may hear, but for me it's better to be a healthy runner than a stuck-on-the-couch-because-I was-stupid injured runner.

So, today is going to be a shorter run.  I know I set a goal for running 5 miles every day this month.  I'll try to keep that, but know that if necessary I will modify.

Today's message from Mr. Tony Garcia

This. A whisper from my heart.
This. Your pep talk.

Have your fears
Have your doubts
Have your excuses
Have a way to rise above them

Have a goal
Have a vision
Have a dream
Have a plan to reach them

Have a letdown
Have a meltdown
Have a breakdown
Have a moment and get over it

Have a good day
Have a great day
Have a fabulous day
Have gratitude for having another day

Have faith
Have hope
Have belief
Have the courage to hold these always

Have a cause
Have a reason
Have a motivation
Have the discipline to live up to it

Have light
Have laughter
Have love
Have an understanding, these are a choice

You've just been pep talked.
Go get today. ~G
