#7 Take Injuries Seriously

Little injuries become big injuries if you ignore them. You really can't run through them. A weird little twinge in my foot became a year and a half of plantar fasciatis. Most injuries are from overuse. If you can't stand actual rest go low impact and get stuff checked out. Then actually follow what the doctor or pt says. I actually believe all these things, just need to do a better job following these seemingly obvious tips like this morning where the weather was so tempting that I did a quick 8K despite a nagging foot problem.
