Out to the Laverkin stake center and back again with Pah Tempe on the way home.  My knee hurt for the first block and then went away.  And after I turned around there was a pretty good head wind.  That is never fun. 

It was a slightly tough run though for some reason, not sure why.

Walking today with 250 lunges.  This knee thing is weird.  It is uncomfortable when I first start walking but quickly loosens up and feels better.  Even just sitting on the couch or anything else, the first few steps feel weird, but quickly goes away.  

I will probably try one of those knee band things next time I run to see how it feels.

4 Miles of walking also at 9 pm with Paula.  We cruise when we walk, it is fun.  My knee felt great all day.  I wore my orthotics to work which I havent done in years.

Running today.  I wore a knee band for the first mile and it didnt feel any different than last time I ran so I took it off.  Again, the first 1/2 block was the worst and then it got a little better.  

I think I will just walk the rest of the week and see how it feels monday morning.  Dont want to really hurt myself.  That would be bad!!

Walking today with Anna in the stroller and with 250 lunges.  My knee is making me mad and frustrated.  It warmed up or loosened up after the first set of lunges and feels ok now.  

I will not run until at least next week and hopefully it will be better with the time off.

Walking again today with 250 lunges.  Knee still stiff to begin with, but got better.  BLAH!!  I suppose it is time for another injury, its been a few months.  

Very frustrating.  Hopefully with a few days off it will be better.
