I went to the gym this morning and did an hour of lifting for arms. I had intended to get up early and joing a group running the Indian Trail - but didn't sleep well from the ache in my knee and bruises on my inner leg - all from falling on a trail run on the 4th.

Later - I decided to run a half marathon on a treadmill, but since every step hurt both legs, I decided to put that off.

Tonight, my legs felt a little better, so I did a nice 5 mile walk. As long as I didn't push hard, it didn't hurt.
