Getting back to it

I got a late start this morning and didn't get up early.  That always makes for a bad start to a monday.  I didn't get over to the rec center until about 12:30.  Went on the treadmill - that was a little better on my knees than on the road.  Took me about 31 min.  I'm doing a new training schedule I found in runner's world to prep for the painter's 1/2 marathon in Jan in St George.

muscle up this morning.

Went walking with Jenny this morning.  Felt good to walk and stretch the muscles.  By the end though I was having pretty much constant pain on my left knee - in the back of the knee.  That's a new pain.  Kind of discouraging.  Came home and iced it.  That was the knee that hurt during the marathon and I don't know if that's still some residual pain and swelling.

Got up early and went to muscle up with Jenny.

I am so glad I committed to Jenny last night to meet her this morning at 6:15 am.  That was actually sleeping in a little from when we regularly go.  I didn't get to bed until midnight because my husband and I were at the awesome ending Utah game!!!

Anyway, it was hard to get up but I'm glad I did.  We started out walking to warm up and then a very slow shuffle/jog and then picked up the pace through the run.  It felt good to run out on the road again but did have knee issues.  Hopefully those will go away soon.  We were out for about 45 minutes.

Good luck to all those who are running the St george Marathon tomorrow. I'll be thinking about you.
