"The race goes not to the swiftest but to he who endureth the most."

That's not actually correct, but there is an element of truth in it. I will not be running today, despite my desire to. I had a decent run yesterday, and I'd love to get back out there today, but the injury bug is always around the corner. In the past I was prone to starting a running program full speed. I would go from a long period of inactivity to 70 miles a week in less than a month. Sometimes I would get injured, other times not, but I can't afford to do that now. I have 49 weeks to go--any lost week would be a setback.

So, I'm going to ease into this thing. Hopefully the Morton's neuromas in my feet stay asleep. Jerks. I hate them.
