My knees have really been bothering me the last week, mainly my left knee.  I had a physical last Tuesday and they were of no help at all.  Apparently my appointment was with a nurse, not a doctor, so the response I got to all my general questions was, "Well, I don't do that so I don't know."  Wow.  Thanks for all the help and pointers.

 I decided to give it a go today and it went pretty well.  I ran 3.25 miles in 31:10, then did a .75 mile cool down.  My knee bothered me a little bit, but it wasn't major pain and so far it feels okay.

Yeah, so running didn't work out so well yesterday.  Tuesday night I participated in a skit for enrichment and portrayed a little kid running after their mom over and over-on my knees across the gym floor.  My left knee did NOT appreciate the abuse.  About .15 miles in it started to throb so I ditched the effort.

Today I decided to try again.  I made it 1.5 miles before my knee started bothering me, so I switched to walking instead and that felt much better.  Total time for 3.25 miles was 35:06.  Hopefully my knee will be all better tomorrow!

Tried again today, but didn't make it very far.  I think I'm going to take a break for an entire week before I give it another go.
