I was a little worried that my legs would be hurting today after running every day last week, but they felt okay. My left knee felt a little sore in the middle of the run, and I could feel it a little in my calf and ankle, but it loosened up and felt okay. I ran my Elementary school loop+ for an easy 4 miles.

I mostly ran my Walgreens-Wabash loop without going into the housing addition. My legs felt fine.

I did my housing school loop and a little more to make it 4. Then the kids wanted to do a bike ride, so I ran along with them. I think we did about a half mile. Then I walked another half mile with my youngest. My legs felt fine.

I ran my Walgreens-Wabash loop on a cold, windy day. The high was in the 50s after highs in the 80s a few days ago. I was a little cool at the start, but I warmed up pretty well. I walked a little bit with my youngest afterwards and got a little cold though.

I did my elementary school loop. It was a really beautiful day. I almost didn't run because I hurt my knee working in the yard. I elbowed myself on the side of my knee. It was really painful. It felt a little sore to start but loosened up okay. It was pretty tight and sore afterwards though. Hopefully it will feel better by Monday.

I also ran and walked some with my youngest. I thought we were going to run the whole time, but she decided she was too tired and that her knee was hurting. We walked, picked up leaves, identified the leaves, and looked at all the wildlife.
