Ain't Back Yet

Today, i did a nice 3 mile run. Still waiting on the training plan from my college coach, but that will likely/hopefully come by the end of the week at the latest. I decided to go with headphones today just to switch it up a little bit considering I usually don't use them on runs. As a car drove by, early in the run, the two nice young ladies that were thought to be my age, honked and gave me a wave. Got the first "notification" of the summer from a car; fortunately it was a good drive-by, not the usual use of profanities or scream by the drivers at the runner(s). Today's title has meaning to it because it is the song of the week's title. "Ain't Back Yet," by Kenny Chesney. I thought about my past four years and all of my injury problems. I decided that i'm "not back yet." In other words, I have not come even close to my potential as a runner. I also decided that since i'm "not back yet," i will actually have to train and do it consistently in order to reach potential and move on to the next level successfully. Even though it was only a three mile run, good still came out of it because of me finally realizing you have to train and work hard year-round in order to be successful and injury free.
I had to work around my schedule today. Had to get the oh-so-dreaded PHYSICAL at the doctor's office today, along with two shots; one in both arms. Now i have to work at 5:30, so i had to do it right in the middle of the day...which i did yesterday. That trend'll stop once i actually start to do longer runs. Either evening or morning runs. The quote of the week will come tomorrow, here's the song of the week:
