Slow Poke

I hadn't ran my 3 mile loop in awhile and it felt good to run it.  It is pretty hilly and quite the workout for being only 3 miles.  I pushed my daughter and she wanted to chat the whole time.  It is cute when she does that.  Sometimes on the hills she tells me, "go faster mommy", or she will look at my feet and say "oh, i thought you were walking".  Anyway, it was a good short run. 

 I feel great still after saturdays run.  I didn't get to sore, and that is crazy.  I did take a couple of walks yesterday just to make sure I didn't stiffen up, but still feel really, really good!!

Once again not much variation to my run.  Pushed my daughter and did the same route.  The second I walked in my door after the run the weather turned all sorts of nasty.  That was pretty cool, it would have sucked getting stuck in that. 

My knee is a little sore this morning, not a clue why.  Hopefully it just has something to do with the weather, otherwise, I am falling apart.

Anyway, happy to be running!!!

I went trail running with my friend in Zion National Park today.  I loved running on the dirt and my knee felt great.  We ran in some pretty sandy stuff for about 1.5 miles and then we hit some pavement.  The plan was to run back into Springdale to where we met, but I only made it about a half mile.  My knee started killing me!!!  It is a very awkward pain.  The next day I could barely walk and now in monday, it is still hurting.  It is weird and I don't get it.  I am going to take it easy (have no choice on that) and see what happens.  It is frustrating to have such a great 1/2 last weekend and then get hurt.  I don't like it, but I will live and try not to hurt it more.
