Yesterday afternoon I developed a random pain in my lower left leg.  It is on the outside of the leg, below the knee, where the knee hinges.  (Don't you love my scientific terms.)  I've been trying to figure out why it hurts there.  My workout yesterday wasn't too hard, and I didn't feel any twinges or anything during the run, or even in the hours following the run.  Impact doesn't seem to bother it.  It's more range of motion.  I think it might be tied into my hips, but it doesn't really feel like an IT band issue.  Hmmmm . . . 

I warmed into my run, slowly.  I felt a bit sore from yesterday.  It's cold.  It took 3 miles to warm up.  Once I got into a groove, it was a nice run . . . even if it was dark, cold, and windy.  7:25 pace.

BE CAREFUL! Sounds similar to the kind of knee pain I have. You don't want to end up a gimp like me. I have to start swimming with the old men at the rec center to get a workout in. :(
