Ran 3 1 mile intervals, fast - 6:45, easy - 8:51, medium - 7:45 ... it was 3:00 - 86 degrees

Basically I have not run since Boston (40 miles total - 13 of which came 2 days after running Peachtree like an idiot & hurting my knee).  I have played some soccer, but seems like every time I do the knee pain resurfaces, don't have any idea what the specific issue is.

Life has been hectic ... started a new job, also working at Home Depot part time, my son moved in with me full-time Aug, 22, and while I am attempting to reestablish some type of running routine, basically I am exhausted ... but maybe running will help ... just have to make the time for it!

I guess I also need to start logging runs on here again too ... because apparently I am not very good at holding myself accountable ... so I need your guys support & encouragement!  Honestly, without the help of this blog I never would have reached the level I did with running & I am thankful to all on here for that.  It will be a long road back ... I guess I will find out in about 10 days if my April Boston performance of 3:22:18 (2:41 seconds faster than my required qualifying time) will be enough to be honored to go back in 2014!  Registration is filling up at a record pace, so not exactly holding my breath, but am hopeful because there is nothing like a target race to get the mojo flowing again!
