YTD: 312 miles I seem to have damaged my right knee. Running downhill ceased to be possible today 10 miles into a very scenic hills run in East Bay. We summited Monument Peak, then Allison and then Mission Peak. Wonderful cold damp feeling in the cloud and lush Irish green (with cows and all). On the way down from Mission my right nee reached its limit and I could no longer run, no matter how slowly. I had to retire, though we had planned to do somewhere between 25 and 30 miles. Retiring is extremely hard when you love long distance. But it is the right thing, and you just have to do it. The recovery process now seems mentally much harder than any race I have run. Running is with the mind, not running too. I will go to a chiropractor, and I will work on recovering. There are many miles left to run this year, and great projects I may or may not able to do. Keep running for me, yall.
