I recently bought a running training journal. I was so happy when it finally came in the mail so I could start using it right away. I received it on Tuesday Jan 30th and logged my first entry the next day.
I'll be posting my workouts regularly! Here are my workouts the past few weeks.
Jan 31, 2011
Route: Shelby farms Patriot Lake
Distance: 2.88
Time: 27:49
Notes: first 2 miles felt great. Left knee started hurting and had to stop :( Time to replace shoes!!!
Ever since my injury I approach running pain totally different. Before, I may have ignored the pain and kept running, but now I know better. I hated to stop, but knew it was the best thing to do.
My shoes were approaching a year old so I figured the knee pain may be associated with them wearing down. I went to Fleet Feet the next day and bought my new pair. I stuck with the Brooks Defyance series and bought the updated model, Brooks Defyance 5. I was shocked with how different they felt compared to my old ones. The support system had definitely worn down and had I continued to run with them an injury would have surely followed!

I took the next 2 days off to rest my knee. I iced it several times a day and wore a brace.
