too much too fast

If that pain in the back of my right thigh means anything, it means I did too much too fast. LOL Monday evening my right leg started to hurt - the hamstring that I'd twinged a couple months ago got to really hurting. It's much better now, and if it doesn't rain, I'll be out for a week six run this evening.

This past academic year felt the same way as this 5K run. All excited about it at first, then completely out of my element and nervous. Then the discipline and focus kick in and it's all I can think about - but then I pay the price. For the run, I paid with the hamstring. For the semester, I've paid with my very tired brain.

There have been a couple days since the end of term that I could barely move. I wanted to get things done, I know there are things that need doing, but what sounded most appealing was crawling back under the covers. That fog has finally lifted and I'm back in action. Yay!

One of my classes is working on a statement of reconciliation and peacebuilding for the Decade to Overcome Violence, sponsored by the World Council of Churches. If you have thoughts about reconciliation and peace you'd like to share, I'd love to read your thoughts. Thank you!
