Ok, so I'm having problems with this. I wouldnt be thinking about it if I weren't participating in a study that is looking at injury rates...
What do you guys call an injury?
I just reported an IT Band strain that made me take a whopping 2 days off (I usually take 1 off anyway) and reduce my mileage temporarily (my last 2 runs totaled 7 miles instead of my normal 10ish), and while it definitely hurt when it happened, I have a hard time calling it an injury because it didn't lay me up for at least a week. Anyone else feel the same way? Am I being too punishing on myself? Someone give me some perspective please!
