Running post, day four

It was a close thing this morning, making myself go running. I did it, though. Nine laps, same as Friday, only difference being I ran the first eight with only one quarter mile walking break. I did walk the entire last lap, though, so I still only ran seven and a half laps. I think Tuesday runs are just gonna suck, though. The first lap was just plain awful, with my knees hurting with every single step (this is continued on from all day yesterday, so not specifically related to running). It really is amazing how the pain goes away after a while, though, or else I become so used to it that I don't notice it any long, because by the end of the second lap it all felt much better.

Now my right knee is bitching at me pretty loudly - doing the thing where it gets cranky on stairs (and today it's cranky even just walking on flat surfaces, which doesn't bode well) but I've taken some advil and it should be good as new tomorrow.
