I ran my first 3.10 miles in 30 .19  then I finished with 40:00.

right there at the end my knee's just started to hurt right below my knee cap. It was a pain I have not felt before. I could hardly stand on my left leg.  I stretched and then went and worked my abs. I did a few leg weights that i could kind of stretch and bend my knee's.

I did 20 min's on the arc trainer. 

I am now icing my knee's, they feel much better but that kind of scared me.

 

I AM LOVING THIS WARM WEATHER!

Take a rolling pin to those quads and roll them as hard as you can, that should help. Do it twice a day untill your knees aren't hurting anymore.
