O.K. my right knee is killing me. I've been going, going, going all day and really need to ice it. This knee was a problem before we started. I'm honestly hoping that taking some weight off of it will help but I'm afraid that I have damage that might be a problem. I could just be stiff.
Today's run was cathartic and painful. It amazed me to feel like I was able to process through a lot of mental anguish just by putting one foot in front of the other. I didn't eat very much the day before and I definitely felt it. I was very lightheaded after our intervals. It is becoming very apparent to me that I am not going to be able to abuse myself and get what I want out of my body.
I'm proud of making it out today. I really just wanted to stay in my house and feel sorry for myself. It was kind of hard after reading a friend's email about training for her first marathon---in the hills of San Francisco. I think what she said was "it's hard for me to think about complaining running the hills when I'm thinking of all the kids I'm running for who just want to run." Good point. Stop complaining and grab your shoes.

Ok, perhaps you need to ice your knee AND have it looked at. Soreness is normal, pain is not. I'm thinking 'killing me' falls into the pain category. love ya.
