Winter training was going pretty well. No long runs, but consistent training (often indoors) with a variety of paces. Nothing too crazy. No injuries. No illness. A little boredom. Maybe a bit too much boredom? I decided to start speedwork so I would be ready for the upcoming Pi Run (3.1415 miles). Bad decision. I injured myself by pushing too hard on the treadmill. Sub-6:30 pace was a tad too much. Right knee is now very achy. Walking hurts. Rolling over in bed hurts. Getting up from the sofa hurts. I'll eventually be better, but I will not be racing the Pi Run next weekend. Stupid runner. When will I learn? Speed kills. Slow distance heals.
