I didn't feel good today. My legs felt sluggish and my stomach was hurting. I think it was a combination of the long run on Saturday, fasting yesterday, no real breakfast, and a lighter lunch about an hour before I ran. I usually run in the late afternoon, but decided to go a little earlier because I want to do some yardwork today. It is a beautiful, sunny day and probably the warmest day of the year yet.

It was cloudy and super windy today but warm. I did my school loop+. I was thinking about doing 5 miles, but my left knee was hurting. It loosened up a little by the end but was still sore. Otherwise, I felt much better than Monday.

My left knee was still bothering me today, and my right knee decided to join the fun. It loosened up a bit during the run but still sore. The pace felt pretty slow because of it, and I turned around early.
