Personal:

My wife, Teresa, has stayed by my side for over 21 years and I am a much better person as a result. Kristoffer, our only child, is now 15 and continues to exceed all my expectations. If you look in the dictionary under the word luck you will see my smiling face.

At the outset I had intended to cover 2.5 mi. I was doing well at the 1.33 mark as I passed my house on a loop through the neighboorhood. At 1.66 I was feeling plenty of pain in the knee so I made a U-turn and hobbled home.

I'll rest another day or so and try again.

Ran 1.0 mi to start and felt quite a bit of pain at the end so I stopped to walk. Ended up alternating 0.25 mi walking with 0.75 mi running. At the end Teresa and I did a push after our last walking segment.

Strangely, my knee did not hurt during the "sprint" nor has it bothered me since. So maybe I am getting the ITB stretched when I am taking the longer strides during the sprint? I am keeping the appointment with the orthopaedist scheduled for 08 Dec. I'll keep running with the idea that I'll stay injured and the orthopaedist will have something to look at when I get there.
