Wow, did it get cold quick around these parts. I was thinking of running on the treadmill again, but I had a conversation yesterday with someone about how this will feel warm in a few months. Yes, it's happened before. A temperature in the mid-40s will feel absolutely balmy in February. We'll be happy about it. But right now it feels extremely cold, especially with the wind out of the north. That was pretty tough on the way back, but I soldiered through it. I ran a pretty good 5.5 miles and at the end it was nice to climb into a steaming hot shower to warm up.
The Knee was not in good shape after Tuesday's run. That night I tossed and turned and every time it was The Knee waking me up and causing some discomfort. The funny thing is that it was good on Wednesday and all day today. And then it felt just fine on the run this evening. This is a strange thing. I'm still not sure what to do. I suppose the textbook thing to do would be to stop. Again. I did try something different today, though. It seems like the knee problems started this summer when I started running in a new set of shoes. So today I went back to the pair I was wearing earlier this year. I did that to a little degree a couple of months ago, but I wasn't consistent with it. This time I'm going to wear the older shoes for the rest of the month and see if that makes a difference.
