naughty knee

First "real" run of the year {elliptical doesn't count as running. Neither does the treadmill, but that's just my own preference not a comment on you}...a mere three miles. Right knee starts acting strangely a mile in, and two miles in is frowning up at me. Run this evening: half mile in and I started hurting. Mile one and I stumbled {as gracefully as possible} and limped around for another quarter mile. Two miles and I called it. 

I am beyond frustrated. Running is one of my best friends. I run around a track as happily as a hamster for miles and miles. Running outside is even better--but only in better weather. The real frustration is with myself though. Why is it that I can't seem to push through this little teensy tiny ouch? Haven't I endured bigger pain? Ugh.

I put it to you, whoever you are reading. What do you think?

a) Time to buy new runners.

b) No pain, no gain!

c) Stop being a baby, B.

d) Go see a dang Doctor.

e) Run a marathon tomorrow before your knee gives out completely.

love!
