Walked the dog for 1.1 miles as a warmup. Dropped her off and ran 3.25 miles, pushing the pace. Got the dog again and did 1.5 mile walking cooldown. Stretched the legs good and iced.

Knee hurt on about a 2 until the turnaround of the run. After that I didn't notice it anymore.

Hmmm... is the knee maybe getting over its self? I sure hope it is :) I am jealous of your BEAUTIFUL miles :)

I wish I knew, Marion. I really do. I need to focus on taking the anti-inflammatories and using the anti-inflam. cream regularly. I haven't noticed the knee getting any better since I started running, but it is also not getting any worse. I think I'll start adding in some leg workouts (as long as they don't cause pain) and give it another month before I call the doc again.

Patience - you too will be running again soon.

It's SO hard to tell what to do. go to the doc? Wait? Run? No run? I think you may be right, just wait and see. I sure hope the pain just quietly leaves you alone.

I have been working on researching a talk for next Sunday. The topic: The Atonement - focusing on the pain Jesus suffered (cheery - isn't it?). Makes me feel like a real wuss in comparison - but there you have it. :)

That sounds like a real bummer of a topic. Is your bishop trying to depress everyone? The mothers day topic I was given was, what do you think Mary felt like at the crucifixion. I told the bishop he was nuts. She felt like crap, end of story. I am sure you will do a great job.

LOL - Thank you for a good laugh! I can just picture you saying that.

When they told me the topic, I said, 'You have to be kidding me!' Apparently our regional rep asked that each ward have one person speak on that topic and I am the lucky one. My last two talks have worked out to be related to marathoning....wonder if this one will be?

Glad the knee is not worse and so glad it is you talking and not me!! :) Good Luck!

I am glad the pain goes away once you get running, that is always a good sign, right???
