It was chilly out this morning (29) and my knee hurts, but I needed to run just to get the stiffness out of my quads from Saturday's marathon.  I decided to run on my treadmill, starting very slowly and then working up to a better pace.

I ran 3.00 miles easy.  My knee (ITB) hurt but it made the rest of my legs feel much better.

I have not been running the last couple days.  I hurt my lower back Wednesday morning moving some heavy stuff around.  I think I hurt it because I was favoring my knee and did not bend my legs correctly.  I am still alive.....just not running until my back is better.

On a positive note....we went to the Foreigner concert at the fair last night and it was GREAT!  Even with the poor weather we had a good time and the band sounded really good.

It was 45 degrees and windy this morning.  I ran 5.76 miles easy.  My back did OK and the knee seemed a bit better although not great.
