Ups and Downs

Last week was a weird one for training.  The week started out roughly, with a chilly, windy run on Monday that I shortened because I simply didn't have the right gear.  By the time Thursday rolled around, I was so busy with work I had skipped my run on Wednesday.  I used the gym at work on my lunch break Thursday to get a quick 4 miles in.  I was feeling pretty good until Saturday rolled around.  For whatever reason, my knee was just not dealing very well with running.  It could be that I was trying to break in my new shoes, or it could be that I was just constantly running hills.  Either way, my knee felt terrible and I shortened my run yet again.

Some ice and ibuprofen later, and I was feeling fine.  I ran tonight and felt great.  So...who knows.  I'm just going to go on as long as I can with my knee - I think it should be fine, I really just need to focus on weight training on my days off.  I'm not going to read too much into it.  I remember having knee pain all through m previous training so this is likely just part of the experience.
