I almost like getting hurt because it forces me to start at the beginning and go slower to make sure I don't push my leg to far and to start recallousing my brain to accept healthy pain. And every time I run I can go relatively faster than the time before without dying.
That is a beauty of individual events like CrossFit and running - you can measure yourself everyday with unadulterated and unambiguous feedback. You are either getting better or worse and there is no sugar coating it.
And I am clearly getting better - I ran about 2 minutes faster for 6 miles today - 47.55 - and had zero leg pain again. That's an 8 minute mile which is the magical pace to hit sub 3.30 marathon.
That's me in the rear view mirror Mike.
