3.7 miles at the fast end of easy in some seriously crazy wind.  I was planning on going farther, but I wasn't mentally tough enough in that crazy wind.

Started running this morning and my right knee really hurt.  It hurt a bit yesterday as well. It is weird, because I had no pain in that knee last week when I ran, then I took a few extra days off over the weekend and now my knee is hurting.  I quit running after it didn't loosen up.  Pain is under the knee cap right in the middle.  I'm sure it is just chronomalacia.  I'll start doing my quad work again and stretching the hammys better.

1 mile not very fast with significant knee pain.

30 minutes elliptical.  Knee gave me some issues, but was able to finish the full 30 minutes.

30 minutes elliptical.  Knee felt very good, just a slight dull ache, but after the elliptical I tried to do some stationary bike, and that brought back the sharp pain.  I quit that after a couple minutes. 

I know this may sound blasphemous to many a runner, but I'm having one of those weeks were I realize how many things in life are more important than running.  I still love running, but how much time am I willing to dedicate to it?  I've actually really loved having the week off from any hard running.  I think my knee will feel better on Monday, so I'm sure I'll be back at it, but I'm not sure how into I'm going to be.

30 minutes elliptical-  no knee pain

5 minutes stationary bike- much less pain than yesterday
