My left knee was aching this morning. I'm wasn't sure if it was
because of the low pressure system that moved in (this is my bad
"weather knee" from surgery when I was 14) or from the hard hill run I
did yesterday. I didn't want to overdo it, so I chose to skip the
two-a-day today and only do the lunch time run. Yes, I would have been
running alone this morning, and it was raining hard, too, but if the
knee had not of been hurting, I would have done the morning run anyway. It
was still raining pretty hard at lunch time. I almost ran in the rain
anyway, but in the end opted for the treadmill, which I really don't
enjoy very much. The fitness center seemed hot and humid, and this
combined with the boredom and monotony of the treadmill to produce a
wonderful (heavy sarcasm) running experience. I ran 6 miles in 47:48 (7:58/mi). I think I ran 1/2 mile@9:00, 2.5.miles@8:00, 1 mile@7:47, 1 mile@7:35, and 1 mile@7:47.
