At first, I wanted to go 8 today. Then I remembered the pain I've been in since Saturday (shinsplints and wacked-out knees) and that I had just taken two days off in a row, and decided to only go 3. Then I decided to try to go 8 anyways... so I promised myself I would turn around if I noticed my shins/knees hurting at all. The shins were fine the whole way, and my left knee didn't start to hurt until just after mile 5, after I was already on my way back down the hill. I felt pretty good the whole way, and looking back on my time, wish I had pushed a little more. I think I needed to do this though, if for no other reason than to convince me mentally that I can still run!
