You're absolutely right. I was rem...Good post! You're absolutely right. I was reminded of a quote of Gen. George Patton which I liked enough to post on my blog: “Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired...You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going.”<br /><br />Like you, I struggle knowing when I'm letting up on my run too early, or conversely when I'm pushing myself too hard (and therefore may be making a tweak into an injury). <br /><br />As to the "listen to your body" mantra I interpret its wisdom not in blindly obeying every pain-signal or niggle that the body sends to the mind, but to instead interpret it in the context of how hard you're pushing the body, where you stand in your training run or race (e.g.: for me a growing versus a diminishing pain/niggle as my run continues is a real cause for worry, since presumably the endorphins are having their pain-diminishing effect so the growing perception of pain likely equates to a crescendo of actual pain.) <br /><br />Conversely, on this morning's 20 miler I was temporarily convinced in miles 2 to 3 that I perceived my prior tibial stress fracture (or more likely stress reaction) growing in intensity; fortunately I ignored the discomfort and ran slightly differently attempting to land more-so on my mid-foot, as I felt nary a niggle after that point. <br /><br />So, you're absolutely right... as competitive runners we need to embrace and accept pain as a necessary sacrifice to improve - but on the other hand we don't want to push ourselves to the literal breaking point either! Once you figure it out, please let me know. :-DMark U.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04792726660751354015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-15831954179940730542011-01-05T13:58:06.208-08:002011-01-05T13:58:06.208-08:00Astute observations.

If heart and drive count for anything, then you should be healed up in as long as takes to microwave a bag of popcorn.<br /><br />Good luck!

Sound...I really like the way this post was written. Sounds like a really tough balance to strike-- to know when to push and when to hold back. I agree with Dash that your cross training is so solid that once all signs of pain are gone, you will be in a strong spot. And you'll probably come back a lot stronger (I just read GIM's blog about taking a break from running and the benefits it can bring).Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-41405664463970214682011-01-05T08:39:22.326-08:002011-01-05T08:39:22.326-08:00Agreed, coming back from a stress fracture, there&...Agreed, coming back from a stress fracture, there's alot of phantom pain that can be mistaken as real pain. It's hard to seperate the two and walk that fine line. I think you have little to worry about, you made the right decision and with your cross training schedule, you'll still be ahead when pain, real or imagined is gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
