I thought I would give it another try.  I ran the 0.25 to Sasha's house.  After about a half mile with Sasha and Jeff I could feel the pain again.  I turned around after 1.5 with them and headed home.  The knee felt a little better if I ran on my toes, but the pain is still there.  It is not so much knee pain as it is leg pain right next to the knee.  It is in that ligament or bone right along the side of the leg at the same height as the kneecap.  Total time was 27:07 (8:20/mile).

The leg started hurting earlier today, but I ran out to 1.5 with Sasha and Jeff.  I then turned around and headed back, but I had a detour.  I was taking care of some cats for a friend of Kathleen's who was out of town and ran there.  Then I walked home because the leg was hurting too bad.  Total time 23:09 (9:15/mile).
