I'm Not Listening

OK, I know that the smart runners listen to their bodies.  I find that bodies lie.  Yesterday, I was certain I was done after four laps of the fatass.  Both my body and mind said I was done.  Then Jedi George put his Jedi powers to work and I found myself doing a fifth lap with the Jedi and Unstrung one.  Turned out to be my favorite lap.

This morning, I wanted to do a loop of the fatass.  When I started out, my left knee, all around and under the cap, was sore.  My left butt cheek was really screaming.  If I listened to my body, I would have stopped when the pain seem to intensify around 1 mile.  There was no way I wasn't going to do the lap.  I'm not even sure how far in, but sometime after 3 miles, nothing hurt any more.  The going was still slow (weather conditions), but I felt good.
