The Story Continues

I took the day off from running on Monday to give my knee an extra day. Yesterday, Tuesday, I went out right before noon for a 5-miler that was to include three miles of tempo pace. I did okay until I hit the third mile and my knee started giving me problems again. I walked a bit and then started up again, albeit at a slower pace. After a few minutes I walked again up a hill and then finally ran the rest of the way home. I'm not encouraged by this continuing pain with the race coming on in a few days. I'm debating whether or not to run a 3-mile easy run tomorrow. Either way I'm sure I can still do a half-marathon on Sunday - it's just a matter of how pretty (or not) it is.
