I had big plans for a run/swim this morning. However, yesterday the power went out and took my alarm clock down with it. When I reset it I somehow fell into the ol' AM/PM trap.  As a result, my alarm should be going off at about 5:30 this evening.  When I did wake up the room had that "it's a little too light in here to be 5:30 am" feeling. In fact, it was 7am. This was a problem for my running plans.

Without much time, I got out the door and ran a little route around the Avenues and Memory Grove. It was a nice morning, but my knee hurt a fair amount -- particularly climbing the stairs up to 4th Ave.  It made me think I shouldn't be running much. 

 I've taken a little IB and I think I'll try the run/swim option tomorrow and see how things feel.

I hate it when that happens. You wake up with a sinking feeling in your stomach. Not a huge deal for running, but bad when you are really late for work, etc.
