Personal:

I was a single mom. Two times over. We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions. Then, I met a man I didn't deserve. And he loves me so much. And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer. Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now. But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway. This is my failure blog now. Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

After feeling fantastic last week, my knees inexplicably hurt today...a lot. Ice and motrin, and some gentler miles all week are in order, I think. I even took yesterday off as recovery...maybe I shouldn't take days off if this is what I get!

hey that's odd my knees had been hurting for weeks and all of the sudden this afternoon they don't. I don't know the answer....do you?

They're just letting you know they are there.

Lesson learned - never take a day off again.

For what it's worth (probably not much) I started having knee pain approaching Houston, and a couple weeks of Glucosamine helped a ton. I'm hooked on it now and my knees have behaved ever since. This was for runner's knee though, not sure if it is universal.
