I decided I would at least try and go a little bit farther than the last few runs. Not sure how the knee would do, but decided to try and run through it within reason. Run started out pretty good. No pain at all after the first mile. A little bit after that but stayed at a pretty low level. Just enough to let me know it was there. Weather was pretty decent, cool weather is hanging on a little bit longer. I stopped at a water fountain after 1.5 miles, got some water and then ran the rest of the way for a total of 6.8 miles. Average pace: 7:54 After the run, there was no more knee pain at all. On other days there had been some lingering, but not today. Hopefully this means it is getting better. Felt great to get in a decent run finally. Later in the day, I went to a running store to drop off a race entry form for the I Love Mother's Day 5K. They had a clearance shelf with assorted shoes. Various brands and various sizes and styles. All $35 each. There was only one box of Brooks shoes, which happened to be Glycerin 6 and just happened to be size 10.5 - just my size!! My lucky day.
