Winter Saturday Run

Today was actually a nice day, especially for December. I ran at mid-day, with the sun shining and temperature heading toward 60 degrees. Even though I missed my Thursday session (cold, raining, work, etc.) I decided to go for 6 miles. And I did. Overall it was a good outing, with an overall pace at 9:15. My fastest mile was 9:02, which kind of surprised me. I kept trying to rein it in and apparently my body wouldn't listen and just stayed at a tempo that felt reasonable. No complaints here. I felt fine.

And that thing I mentioned awhile back about my right knee and the cord (maybe a welt? I don't know and don't care enough to be research) around the edge of the mattress? Every since I noticed that and position myself correctly, including sometimes waking up in the middle of the night to shift my leg...well, that pain is gone. 

Reminds me of the time back in the 90s where I started having back pain, which I'd never had before. I woke up one night stretched out stomach-side down and The Wife was sleeping draped over half of my back. Once I realized that and told her to knock it off my back felt better. It's funny the little things and habits we develop which actually end up causing some minor, or not-so-minor, aches and pains.
