I had a really hard time with Tallon in the day care today, so it cut my workout short by 30 minutes.

I did run my first 3.10 miles in 32 minutes then I slowed down and finished the last mile by 43 minutes.     It felt really good to be over 3 miles again but I can't say that last mile was painless.   I wrapped my knee today and wore the knee strap.  I could feel the dull pain but nothing felt like it was going to pop out of place or explode.      I wore my old running  shoes and I could tell I was landing different but I can also tell they are wore out because the top part felt like there was no padding at all.   So maybe Josse was right with her first coment to me that I probley needed new shoes.  (This weekend : )

I did some abs and a few leg weight before I had to go as well.  I thought I would just ride the bike when i got home, but with my husband being gone and all 6 kids hearing loss I am beat.

I iced when I got home.
