A mile into this run my left knee started to hurt seriously enough that I thought I need to turn around right away and go home.  Except for the fact I had some knee pain in a different location while skate skiing the other day, this was a total surprise.  It felt like IT band, but hard to say.

I wonder if skate-skiing creates the additional stress on your joints and muscles that they are not ready to handle. The skate motion is not something a runner would be accustomed to. However, cross-country skiing is very good for a runner, I need to find some time to do it. Try skiing the regular way (classic) rather than skate.

Sasha--I prefer not to think skating is the issue, but my body and my mind often prefer different things. So, I'll stay off the skate skis until I resolve these issues.
