3 miles around the neighborhood with Cooper.  I felt great the first mile, as usual, then that knee pain came crawling back.  Ran/walk the rest, probably around 2.5 miles of running.  Decided to just run fast for one part in case I was "babying it", and man it felt good to go fast.  My legs miss that.  I just want to run how far I want, when I want, and the speed I want.  Why can't my knee just cooperate?

Missed the run with Lisa and Anya, it is just too much to not be home until 8pm 4 nights in a row.  Then I was glad because my knee would have held everyone back (especially Denali). :-)

Denali is a fast girl isn't she:)? I'm glad you got to run but I'm sad your knee is still acting up.
