I ran for about 87 minutes today. It was sort of challenging. MY ankle and my knee were hurting -- the ankle especially. I didn't do 45 minutes yesterday, I worked in my yard for about 2.5 ours instead (cross training).
Three reasons why today's run was tricky:
- I didn't do the work in between long runs as I rested my knee.
- Yesterday's work sort of gassed me and left little in the tank.
- I under-dressed. I should have worn tights it would have helped my legs if they were warm.
I think my knee thing is more muscular than joint -- and I think it's more related to the cold than anything else -- it's not exactly warm out right now.
