The smallest of metaphors happened yesterday four miles into a planned seven miler.
An easy run with a pace fluctuating between 8-10 minutes per mile, a small pop in lower right calf. Did i tear a muscle? Felt like it. Walked (gingerly at first) the remaining three miles.
The metaphor?
Out of nowhere, something happens that we never saw coming, carrying with it the power to derail our plans – in this case, derailing hopes of ramping up my speed work.
In real life, it could be a bring-you-to-your-knees wakeup call.
No warning.
Caught off guard.
Changes everything, and potentially floods overwhelmes us with regret.
