Took the day off today.  Didn't really want to, but the inside of my knee has been bothering me.  I didn't notice it hurting on Saturday after the race, but Sunday morning it hurt like you know what!  Don't know if I pulled something or what, but I've been popping the ibuprofen to get it feeling better.  If anyone reads this and has experienced this, any advice?  Any good stretches?  Can't afford to injure myself, I've got a big running year ahead!  It does feel better today, but I still notice it, especially bending  my knee.  Hope it's nothing too serious and goes away.  Hope to be back running again in the morning :)

Felt SO good to run outside today!  The weather has been so nice, can't wait for summer.  Can't wait to be outside permanently, and not on the treadmill  most days.  

Knee is feeling better.  Guess I just strained it somehow.  Doesn't hurt at all to run, it's just sore after and when I'm stretching.  I'll have to just be careful.

Argh!  The last couple of days have been SO NICE to be able to run outside!  It was back on the treadmill again this morning because of the rain.  Not that running in the rain is always terrible, but I just wasn't in the mood this  morning.  

Did I ever mention how much I hate the treadmill?  I run so much faster outside on the roads.  I just feel like I can't run that fast on the treadmill (unless I'm doing sprints) and my min/mile is 10.  I KNOW!!  I NEVER run that slow outside, but it is exhausting on the treadmill.  I don't understand. 

Anyway, got through it.  I was more tired today, too, went to bed a little later, and I don't think the cold, wet weather helped my tiredness this morning.  Looking forward to Saturday - weather is supposed to be better and I'll get my 10 or more in.  Wish it was another race. . .love race days :)

I planned on doing 13 this morning, thought my route was for that far, but I guess I was just a little off.  Oh, well, close enough.  

Felt pretty good, but took it slow.  The weather started out at 38 degrees when I left (you mean I have to wear layers of clothes again???), but warmed up by the time I had finished.  CANNOT WAIT for summer to be here!!  I'm so tired of layering on the clothes.  

 Good run, I'm tired, but not sore.  Hope to up it some more next weekend.
