For the third time in my 4 running streaks, I have reached the 4-year mark. I am still mad as heck about breaking my last streak four years ago on the knee issue. The doctor misdiagnosed the injury and talked me into not running for four days. I could have run. If the future, I will run if I physically can.
Since I am running a half marathon tomorrow, I ran laps at the track this afternoon. This cool weather feels great.

Interesting. With all due respect for doctors, I have been to the doctors 4 times in 30 years for injury issues. NEVER...have I recd any benefit whatsoever. I learn more from other runners and athletes about healing from injuries. And, all but one, suggested a conservative approach ...like not running for 4 days or something.
