So sad... So very sad... I put on my headlamp this morning in anticipation of the darkness, excited to be a dork running with headgear. Walked out the door at 6:10am and realized there was no need for the extra illumination so I sadly removed it from my head and started out feeling a little deflated on not getting to emulate the great Jeffro in my AM running attire. I made it about a quarter mile down the road when my left knee started yelling at me, reminding me that in my headlamp debate I had forgotten to put on my knee strap. I quickly came to a limping halt, tried stretching (which really doesn't work on the knee issue, but hey, I was doing something) and ended up turning back around and limping home.
I had enough time to put on the knee strap and head out again, but knowing I'm running the 1/2 on Monday, I thougth it wiser to just lay low for today.
Short story made entirely too long, my "pop-the-cherry" (for wearing the headlamp) run was a major fiasco. Nonetheless, I will attempt it again next week after the 1/2 marathon. I shall prevail!!! Mwaahahaaaa!!!
