Knee watch – T-minus 4 days

After a couple days off and lots of icing and foam rolling, I couldn’t take any more; I had to know how my knee would feel on a run. I went out for a simple out and back…just 3 miles. It was slow and easy…and there was no pain so I’m cautiously optimistic!

So I’ll continue the ice, roll, rest, repeat dance for a couple more days along with another light run, just so my legs don’t forget what they’re suppose to be doing 🙂

It’s funny I felt like the first 11 weeks of this training flew by, while these final two weeks are moving at a slow crawl!

Today I learned….

…. how much staying up with a sick little one can take a toll on the next day’s run

…. it is important not to short-change hydration just because it’s the dead of winter

…. I should not pick the treadmill closest to the wall at my gym because there’s no air circulation

…. how much I miss Patriots football
