I strapped on an old knee brace that I hadn't used for many years and headed out an 8 miler.  I haven't run that far for a while.  Things went really well the first few miles with no pain, then I started to get an achey feeling, but not painful and it would come and go.  I finished the 8 miles with a 7:53 pace.  I've got a lot of work to do in 1 month (from today) to be able to finish Boston.

You will finish! Just take care of that knee no so it won't hurt then. BUMMER, sorry you have an injury. They STINK!

You will finish, I think you will be faster than expected.

How's the knee feeling today? We'll be running Boston 4 weeks from today!

Smooth, knee felt good this morning. I need to blog my run. I know, I was thinking about Boston being 4 weeks away while I was running and how my body didn't feel anything like it usually does 4 weeks out from a marathon. Oh well.
