Today started out as such a good run. My knees were feeling much better and we were moving right along until 4.5 miles. All of a sudden I had this pain right behind my knee cap on my right knee. It did not work it self out so we walked for a couple of minutes and everything seemed fine. We continued on and there were little twinges but nothing serious until 6.5 miles. I had to stop at a stop light and when I got started the pain was back and I could not run on it. So for the next .5 we walked and I tried to jog on it but would only make it a few steps. Finally we were able to go again for the last .5 at a very slow pace and made it home. I am going today to the running store for some advice but I think a day of rest is probably in order. Another Rant: I understand that I am putting myself at risk by running on the shoulder of the road or in the road, however, when I am in a lit cross walk and crossing with the "little green guy" I have the right of way. Today was the second time that I have almost been hit by a car turning left while I am crossing in the cross walk. Pay attention!! I had to get it off my chest, because all I can do at the time is stop and stare at the car that is still oblivious to almost taking my life. Maybe I am a little dramatic but seriously!?! Ave Pace 8:47 Happy Running!
