I flew up to Portland, Oregon on Friday afternoon for a family event. I got up at around 6:45 and got out the door for a little about 45 minutes later. From the start of the run I had knee pain almost the entire time. The route was quite nice, even though it was sunny there was shade all over the place because of the amazing trees. I ran through some neighborhoods and along a minor arterial route in the Milwaukie area. The knee, however, was a real concern the whole route. I think it's the combination of a slight increase in mileage the last few weeks combined with quite a bit more intensity. I should know better! |
