Larry wanted to run the neighborhood 5K course this morning in preparation for the annual neighborhood 5K run this Saturday. When I signed up for the Ogden marathon I didn't note the conflict. I'm really going to miss running the 5K. A couple of miles into the run my left knee started hurting so I stopped running and walked for a bit. It hurt a little while walking and actually felt better when I started running again. I was only running about a 9:00 pace at the time it started hurting. I haven't done anything to injure it recently, no hard training or long miles. It was windy and cooler this morning, and that reminded me that this is my weather knee, the knee that sometimes hurts when low pressure systems move in. I came home and checked the weather maps and sure enough there is a low pressure system over Utah. It looks like there is a high pressure system moving in, and the forecast is for warmer weather this weekend, so I'm optimistic the knee will be fine for the marathon on Saturday.
