Hurting myself

Yesterday I ran and I think I hurt my knee.  My left knee started hurting about four miles into my run but I pushed through it and finished the run.  I probably should have stopped but my runs haven't exactly been awe inspiring so I was determined to finish and not to quit.  I get so sick of quitting when things get tough or with messing up and not being consistent.  I don't think I helped anything out with pushing through this and tweeking my knee.  Now I am going to have to take the rest of the week off and forget about any progress that I need to make.  As you can tell this kind of frustrates me.  Oh well, enough about me complaining about me stupidity and the result of it.

I did get to run a race a few weeks ago and it was horrible.  I had fought off some sickness during the week and had only ran a little for the past week.  My legs were constantly weak during the week and it was pure exhaustion.  I tried to run anyways on the race date and it didn't work out very good.  I had to stop running after almost two miles.  I walked about 1/2 a mile and then finished jogging.  My time was something close to 30 minutes.  My last race a month ago was a 22.07 and I was looking to go to a 21.30, but a little sickness will do that.

On a lighter note God is good.  The Lord has been doing some good things in my life lately and I am excited to see what He is doing in our church right now.  I know this has nothing to do with running but it has everything to do with my life.
I do want to end by saying that I am enjoying life right now and things are going good, just not with my running routine.
