Although it was sunny for the entirety of my run today it did not slow me down as much as I had feared, though my pace was off by a couple of seconds. I had planned a full 10K but right at the 5K mark my left knee felt like it was locking up. I debated briefly on whether to run at a slower pace and wait it out or call it there before my average pace went to poop. I called it at 5.2 km completed and am planning on another run tomorrow – my first back-to-back runs in many moons.
The knee is feeling fine now, so I don’t believe it’s hurt, just old and stupid.
The run was otherwise unremarkable. I am coming home dusty instead of muddy now, which is actually kind of nice.
