Another happy run logged in today. 11 miles. Finished 10 in 80 minutes and the last mile took me 20 mins because I played wih a stray dog on the way and brought him home. We fed him a loaf of bread, milk and put him back in the park - not sure where he belongs.
I left so late this morning - at 6.26am. I couldnt get myself out of bed before that. It got me thinking - As runners we always hear how important it is to "listen to your body"... but actually when I think about it, I'm not sure what this really means.
I mean, as runners we ALWAYS have little aches and pains - if I were to "listen to my body", I'd never get off the sofa. True - I can tell the difference between a sharp pain and nagging soreness. I can tell that some days I feel good and other days I don't feel so great (although I'll rarely cut a run short)... but I'm not sure if this is "listening to my body"?
What about you -- what does "listen to your body" mean to you? How has "listening to your body" helped you?
