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.

1 1/2 miles.  Slow and Hilly.  Only had 15 min. before I had to take my daughter to the doctor.  I guess a mile and a half is better than nothing.  

Sore knee on the downhill.
