Tried to do a 10 mile run to decide if I'm going to sign up for the PF Chang 1/2 but my knees were bothering me at the 6.5 mile mark. I walked them out and then was able to run another mile with no problem. Going to try again on Friday, I have a 3.5 hilly power walk tonight and a big hike tomorrow so I didn't want to push it!

Hope the knees improve, don't push it and listen to your body. It is only a race. Ice your knees, take some ibuprofen and take it easy, don't put too many long runs too close together.

How are your shoes, are the old? Watch your form and try to land mid foot and not on your heels.

Thanks Jeff, my shoes are fine, I don't run in them all year round (keep them here), so I retire them every Feb! My knees are only due to my arthritis, no pain, just feels and sounds weird. I am going to take ibup. now and until after my hike tomorrow and then a day or two before heading out for another longer run. I may have to not push my luck, forget about the 1/2 and continue to be able to run as I do, elliptical, compete in smaller 5k races! Better than nothing... Happy new year Jeff!
