Ouch. I planned on doing an hour-long run this morning, last night.  After looking at the weather forecast, I was totally psyched and ready to go find out what sub-freezing temperatures feel like.  When I woke up (5:22) I felt like crap from working out my legs yesterday and just didn't feel like running.  I said my morning prayers, of course asking to be motivated to push myself to the best of my ability and to be safe. I got up to get ready and pondered if I really should go, or just wait until tomorrow, finally deciding to go back to bed, my body was too sore for a good run.  But, after five minutes in bed, my body let me know that it wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon. Good thing I said my prayers this morning, eh?

Got seven miles in going up Timp View Drive.  They were tough, and I had to continually push myself to even continue running. Average pace of 8:28 min/mile.  I didn't maintain the same pace for much of my run, but I feel like I maintained the same intensity for most of it.

I'm having weird problems with my knee.  It hurts pretty badly and I'm going to take it easy tomorrow and then take Thursday off. I'm going to a Silverstein and Chiodos concert at the Salt Air on Wednesday, my very first real concert, and I don't know what my sleep will be like.
