Mah Poor Knee

I hate the fact that I have an injured knee. During our run/walk, I think after the 5th or 6th run, my knee started to hurt. It was rather painful and forced me to stop running for the night. I'm not sure if the strength training I did yesterday had anything to do with it, but it just felt too weak. It was as if it was threatening to give out in the middle of running. Well, I don't like to do face plants so I walked the rest of the way back to Danny's, limping half the way. I think that perhaps I need to focus on getting the muscles around my knee stronger so that it can deal with the increased impact of running.

This was the first time that we have ran on a hard surface (we went around the block on the street). Before this it was nice compacted dirt in the woods. The problem with running in the woods is that they're a bit spooky at night, we have to ride our bikes to get there, and that it has lots of turns. I think that we need to look for a place that is grassy and long.

Anyway, I've just looked at the time and realized that it's really late, and I'm starting to ramble. Good night, internets :)
