Medium 10 miles today with 5 at MP effort 80-85% mhr.  Was going to do 8 but I wrenched my knee coming around the corner on a dip. Ow!!! Jeez! You have got to be stinkin kidding me!  #@&*!!  Luckily after a brief period of walk/jogging I was able to somewhat limp home in one piece.  

I need ice and quick..

PM-Went for a very easy 2 mile jog this afternoon.  A little stiff at first but after a few minutes things warmed up a bit. It seems I may have just pulled the IT band a little connecting the outer knee. Very lucky.. Tells me my connective strength may not be in line with my cardiovascular ability right now.  Demetrio always told me this was a weakness of mine that I needed to work on. But how? Weights maybe?  Just don't know..

Sorry about the injury. Give it a break (not literally) for a day.

What happened to your plans to run TOU?

I have a free entry to So Jo Maurine. It gives me a little more time to prepare for it so I don't embarass myself... LOL!!

I won it last year so that gave me a free entry this time:)

I love the description - were those comments said aloud or just in your head? Hopefully you didn't cause any damage, just a scare!

No.. I was kind of surprised by it that I didn't have time to think really. It was only after when I was hobbling home that I was cursing myself:) No big deal, It's like Steve Andersen said to me one time; pain is just a part of being a masters runner. Weird things happen as you get older I guess..

Sometimes these things aren't as bad as they seem. Good luck.

I credit weights with helping me avoid all sorts of injuries that used to constantly screw things up for me. Building bone density and strong connective tissue counts for a lot in your forties.
