Today was my first day running since last Saturday. I ran 8 miles last Saturday and my left knee hurt me for about 3 days so I thought I'd better have a little more down time for knee recouperation. I think I need to run more often and run less miles. That is what I am going to try for the next few weeks. It will be difficult, though, to run more days.
Today's run was a great one! I went 5 miles in 40:17 in a very beautiful sunny 34 degrees. The trail that I ran on was very wet and muddy because of all the recent rain and snow. You should have seen the back of my tights when I got done. I was covered in a sandy mud from the bottoms of my shoes to right above my knees. It was so cool!
