Setback

Today was a bit off a setback in my running. It was a beautiful day outside so there was no way I was not going to run. Nice, sunny, and No Humidity, it has been humid lately. I had high aspirations in my run today because I wanted to get to my 25 mile goal today on my Nike plus. I am close, I am about 8 miles away or so. So my intent was to run the last eight and hit that goal. Well that didn't take place. I was very achy today. I have been at it hard lately and I got about 2 miles out there and just things were not working out as I might have had them, so I cut it short at 3 miles. No sense in kicking my butt on a Tuesday just for the laughs.
So, while I didn't get as far as I had wanted today, I will get there somehow. I vow to myself that I will not destroy my body so that I cannot participate in the late Fall goal of running a 20 miler and then hopes of running the Richmond Marathon.
Today, I think that the main factor in my troubles was the poor form that I have been working on. Upon looking back today, I think that I was more worried about my feet and every time that I have had trouble with my feet, I have needed to readjust my body position.
Anyway, more to follow later.
