Had a fantastic 8 mile run. I've decided to try and enjoy running and not worry about my pace, so even though I wore my watch I did not check it until I was done. My AP ended up being: 8:47. I started out slow and ran at a comfortable pace. The only time my breathing was labored was up the hill at mile 3. My splits were: 8:46, 8:50, 9:15 (through the mud and up a pretty good hill), 9:01(head wind begins), 8:53, 8:51, 8:26 (yeah no more headwind), 8:08. I ended at the gym, and since my husband wasn't done with his workout I rode the bike. 8 miles in just under 30 minutes. R. Knee feels good when I run but wants to give way and hurt for several days after I run. Swelling is minimal if any- pain is in the lateral joint line. Tonight it is doing a little better than after my last 6 miler- so maybe its on the mend.
