Since my husbands surgery last week I have had a really hard time getting a run or a work out in.  I've finally decided the only possibility is mornings.  We'll see how long I can manage getting up at 4:30, working all day, going to school twice a week until 9:00, taking care of the kids the minute I get home and going to bed around midnight.  I really wanted to have a good showing in Ogden but over the last week life has really gotten in the way.  

My workout today consisted of 4 miles on the elliptical and 2 miles walking- pretty pathetic.  You'd think with all the days I've had off my knee would be feeling great but NOOO-  I tried twice to run on the treadmill, once when I first got to the gym and once after I warmed up, but my knee would have none of it.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a different story. 

OK- I'm done whining, I actually love being busy and any day I can get moving is an awesome day.

Met some of the BBK group this morning.   I only ended up running a little over 6 miles before I had to leave for work but by the time I had to leave I started feeling pretty good.  I wish I could have stayed and finished another 3.   The first mile or so of the warm-up was tough.  It took everything I had to keep from limping.  Spent some time talking and decided I should probably go see Dr. Toronto and have him look at my knee.  After I stretched my quad it seemed to take some of the pressure off of my knee and I felt much better.  I hope I can get it together and have a good showing in Ogden. 

 Any suggestions for a plica problem?

Had a soccer game today at 10:00.  I had a really hard time getting into it, and played rather poorly until the last half.  The field we played on was very narrow which was frustrating because I was never able to make the runs I'm used too.  Normally I would log 6 or 7 miles for an 80 minutes soccer game but today was only worth about 3.

Went  for a run before dinner.  It felt great to get out.  My knee bothered me for the first half of the run but eased up for the last half.  I ran 4 miles in 30 minutes then did a half mile cool down.
