On the ride home from the airport last Thursday evening my left knee started to feel weird. It was an inflamed, stiff sort of feel that I've had before. I attribute it to wearing different shoes, in this case cowboy boots, for the better part of two weeks. That alters my stride, causing weird things to happen. In light of that and several days of the same feeling along with ice and elevation, I decided to not run over the weekend. I probably could have on Sunday but felt it was better to not press the issue.
This morning it felt great, and even though I got up early and wished I'd waited until later in the day, I still put it together and went running. The normal path was closed two-tenths of a mile because of construction in the park, but I made up the difference by running backward when I got to Hardin and retracing my path. The temperature was 76 degrees when I started, a far cry from the normal for this time of year. It was a pretty good, if slow, 6 miles. And at the end my knee felt just fine with no complaints as of this evening.
