Does the body rule the mind or does the mind rule the body? I don't know.

I’d like to address something that the commenter on my last post brought up: running through the pain.

First of all, running through the pain is for idiots. If there is actual pain, it’s because there’s a problem. If you keep going you risk making the problem worse. (Unless of course it’s minor pain unrelated to your running. In that case, don’t be a baby!)

Second, there is a difference between pain and fatigue. I will always persevere through fatigue. Giving up when you’re tired is also for babies.

Not so with pain. If I know I have a recurring condition and that running will make it worse, I’m going to stop!

In closing, to all my readers: don’t leave idiotic comments!
