Miles: 5
Time: 41:50
Pace: 8:22
Splits: Too lazy to look
Dad and I ran 5 this morning. I got some awesome new cold weather pants for our early Christmas, and they were awesome. They're Adidas and super warm and fit a million times better than the Underarmor ones I bought last year (I bought mediums instead of smalls for the UA ones... uh, bad choice). It was an okay run. My knee was pretty sore at the end of it, and my Garmin was .06 of a mile behind my dad's watch (so I took his distance/time/pace).
Going to Utah tomorrow, so I won't be running Sunday, or Monday (my usual rest day). I may or may not run Tuesday, depending on if I ski or not. Then Wednesday is rest b/c it is an easy week. So it's gonna be easy this week! :D And hopefully, skiing will be kinder to my knee.
When I get back fro vacation, though, I am (for real!) going to go see a doctor about my knee. See if there's anything I can do about it. (Also on my list: orthodonist and eye doctor). Woo hoo, money to be spent!

Day Seventeen
Miles: 5
Time: 41:17
Pace: 8:15
Splits: 8:00, 8:26, 8:21, 8:20, 8:08
Not going to complain about the splits. They were fairly consistent, and the second split was so slow because I had to run uphill, against the wind, for about .1 of a mile. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :P
On a really really happy note: It is December 1, and it was 55 degrees outside. It was warm with sunshine and I was perfectly comfortable running in an Underarmor t-shirt and shorts. It was gorgeous. If this was a real fall-->winter time, there would be snow on the ground and it would be in the high 20s and low 30s by now. This is unusually warm, but I'm not complaining. :D
I felt like a total wimp today, though. I stopped probably 4-5 times in the first 2.5 miles because my right calf kept getting really tight. So I'd stop, stretch it out, shake it out, and keep going, only to have to get uncomfortable and tight and blegh all over again. It eventually stopped, though, which was a relief. My knee started getting sore around 3 miles. Not the same swollen feeling as Sunday (though would have been had I ran longer), but a pain/soreness across the top and along the bottom of my knee cap. I have no idea what it is, but I iced it and it feels okay now.
Another goal now: GET THE KNEE TO STOP HURTING. That would make my life. :P

Day Four
Miles: 5
Time: 41:01
Pace: 8:11
Splits: 7:59, 8:01, 8:24, 8:16, 8:17
This run felt so much better than the last few runs! :D Hallelujah!
The weather was absolutely gorgeous again today. Probably between 60 and 65. Sunny. Just fantastic for running and feeling good. Can November just be like this every year?
The first couple miles felt really good. I had pains that would come and go every half mile or so. But that's pretty typical for me to have moving, phantom pains like that. The next mile was pretty slow, and I'm not really sure why. The last two ended up being really even and pretty quick and I was pretty surprised. I did have to stop about 3 times, though because my shoe was hating on me and once because of traffic. (Those aren't counted in my time, though, because my dad says I'm a cheater that way.)
I'm icing my left knee right now, which I feel will be a regular thing for a while. It was visibly swollen again when I got back and it felt tight above my knee. I don't know what the issue is, but this should prevent it from getting worse and hopefully make it go away.
I am totally relishing in this weather, though. This is such a nice break from how November usually starts. It's beautiful outside! I am not looking forward to having to pile on layers of cold gear in a few weeks. Ugh. But as for now, I am going to go do tons of reading for the week outside while it's beautiful and pray for gorgeous weather again for my run tomorrow!
