What the ? Add $2

After 4 days resting and doing NO running I thought I would just stretch the legs.
Well that's what I call it anyway.
The first 3k were nice and easy then my legs felt warm and I headed towards a hill. My brain said "Not a good idea mate" But my stubborn male ego thing said "She'ill be right "
The hill was not a hard hill but I was very tentative and didn't push. That's when the left started a little niggle and I was cursing even being out there. What was I thinking ? I should have turned back. Another hill at 7k and a steep one at that. I just looked ahead slowing the pace to a jog and at the top turned for home. Waiting for the pain to come in and nothing?
15k gone and I could have turned into home but I just kept on going. For some strange reason I felt good and no signs of any pain. A quick loop and pushed a bit harder the last few k's. Wow that was nice.
All up 21.5k at 5:02 pace.
This includes stopping for $2 on the road and brings my total for money found on the road to $5:30. No I wont give up my day job !
Rest Sunday and very easy Monday !
