Listened to my body and cut my run short today. So much of growing and becoming a better runner is about being smart instead of stubborn. I really wanted to finish out the week with 4 easy miles today, but my legs were just dead. I know why - lately I have only been working out 4 times a week as I let the ankle heal, and due to some thyroid stuff. However, with spring break I've been able to sleep in a bit, get in a workout, take a nap... it's been great for my tired thyroid and my love of morning workouts. If this was a normal week I would have pushed through and finished the 4. But it isn't, I am racing a half on Saturday in Savannah. While I did not taper for the race at all, because it really is just another long run, I would like to set myself up with the best chance for success. So stopping the run early and enjoying a nice walk home was the best idea. #SmartOverStubborn #RunnerProblems #InjuredRunner #hypothyroidism
