| | So I gave it another week of rest and the knee is still painful while running. Not sure where to head now except into the doctor's office.

| | 2.14 mi and then OUCH!
I was doing okay for about 1.25 but my pace was too fast so I took a break and walked 0.25 mi. Starting back up I kept the pace around 11:30/mi (still too fast but better) and made it to 2.14 mi before the nuisance pain in the knee exploded into soul-crushing pain. I stopped and tried to walk it off and stretch it out but the pain was too much to even allow any stretching. I hobbled home in defeat and will not take ibuprofen, wrap ice on the knee, oh ... and get ready for the long night traveling to Coweta with the band for tonight's playoff game.

Frost Ya' Fanny Run (3.1 Miles) 00:36:38, Place in age division: 9 | | I was completely prepared to hobble across the finish line but managed to run the entire distance without terrible pain.
1.0 mi @ 12:03/mi
1.0 mi @ 12:14/mi
1.0 mi @ 11:13/mi
0.1 mi in 1:08 (approx)
The knee was definitely sore at the finish line but I was not crippled. As you can see by the times I definitely did not make any attempt to run fast at the outset but did finish up the last 0.5 mi at faster than 10:00/mi pace. Once I was that close to the finish I let the legs stretch out.
I have felt a few twinges in the hours since the run. Ibuprofen seems to have helped. With any luck I can put in a few cautious miles tomorrow.
This marks my unofficial 1 year anniversary as a runner. Teresa and I had not been running long last year when we set out sights on being able to run the 2008 Frost Ya' Fanny race. Yea for us!
