Slow & Steady & Swollen

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

My feet hurt. My knee hurts.

Perhaps should have broken in new sneakers more slowly instead of immediately running 9 miles in them.

It's weird because as I was leaving the gym today I was thinking, "Wow, I just ran 9 miles and I feel fine!!!

And now, hours later... swelling. Pain.

I think for now on I'm going to follow the training schedule to a T and never try to skip ahead. I really don't want to force things and then hurt myself and be out of the thing before I even really start. This is yet another test for my almost non-existing patience. Slow and steady wins the race, right? You can't rush these things.

Can't rush anything, though sometimes I really wish I could.
