Maybe someday I'll have something noteworthy to post in this section. I have only completed three 5ks and a 5 miler; all at an average pace somewhere in the 9:00-9:30min/mile range
Painter's Half 2010 - 2:03:54
Short-Term Running Goals:
Painter's Half Marathon - would like to keep an average pace of 9:00min/mile.
Painter's Half - Went over my goal and finished in 2:03:54 :( It was my first half though. I had a great time and learned what I need to work on.
Salt Lake Half Marathon - would like to finish in under 2 hours.
Long-Term Running Goals:
Would like to complete a full marathon in the fall of 2010 and finally conquer the Herriman Hill...to be honest, there are several hills in Herriman I'd love to conquer, but that one for sure!
Personal:
I am a stay-at-home mother, married and have two young boys.
5.0 easy miles this morning at a 9:30 pace. My knee bothered me again, but not nearly to the degree it did on Monday. Luckily my training schedule has me only running 18 miles this week w/no speed work. Hopefully after an easy week I won't feel the pain I did before!
Adidas Supernova Miles: 5.00
Night Sleep Time: 6.50
Nap Time: 0.00
Total Sleep Time: 6.50

take care of the pain! Don't let it get out of hand - it's easier to get better now than let it 'fester' (speaking from experience here!). Where is the pain? Is it in your knee or more on the outside of your knee?
I'm glad it wasn't too bad today and that you were able to get through the miles at a good pace as well!

It's on the outside of my left knee. It really bothered me on Monday when I tried to go faster than an 8:00min pace, but when I took it easy yesterday it wasn't nearly as bad.
I'm really not sure where to go from here...whether I should rest or keep pushing through the pain and if I should keep ice on it, etc. Any advice?

unfortunately...yes. If its on the outside of your knee (especially the left, because we typically run on the left side of the road) it may be ITBS. I sometimes feel like a resident expert on the crud! But, when I get the pain I feel like I still know nothing!! Anyway, search it on the internet and see if you think it could be ITBS. If it sounds right to you shoot me a Personal message and I can give you some good stretches etc to help!

OH, darn! I am glad that the easy week hit the same time as the pain, that will hopefully give you time to feel better.
