Long Run Sunday

I ran today.

My "long run" of 4 miles, which I was lame as once again I didn't make it to 4 even. I have a strict rule about NOT running through pain, so when I felt my knee twitch at 3.5 or so, I only ran a bit longer. Which was fine (or - lame) because my lungs were NOT in it. Cardiovascular-wise I've lost a LOT of fitness. The pace was sub 10m/mi, so at least I had THAT going for me. Barely.

Still not feeling Great. Hoping that todays run will burn off some of the ick and that I will be back on track next week. My short term goal for next week is to log 12 miles running & 4 miles walking. What can I say, I like to aim high!
