i was not able to run on monday, however, i was blessed to be able to leave work a little early on tuesday so that i could run before i had to be on call. about the last half mile of that run my left knee started having a little pain. i was able to run with it to finish the 5 miles but it did hurt for most of the night following. wednesday i never had a problem out of the knee. i was planning on doing 8 miles wednesday and 5 on thursday. because i had the knee pain, i decided to rest on wednesday (and besides i had a Christmas party with a bunch of wild people from my family). so no running on wednesday. thursday i was going to try another 5. i thought about doing 8 since i had missed my 8 miler. during the run i was feeling great at mile 3 i had decided to go ahead and run 8 since i was feeling so good. however, just after mile 3.5 i had a severe, sharp pain on the outside of my left knee, it was so bad i could not run through it and i had to walk nearly all of the remainding 1.5 miles. so i planned to rest on friday and maybe try some work on the elliptical saturday (today).
here are the times for the 2 runs:
12/13/11: 5 miles 47.30
12/15/11: 5 miles 52.21
thought of the day: pain pain go away, let me run another day.
