Relieved

After taking the week off of running, I was ready to give it a try today and see how my knee felt.  I used a heat pad for a bit, then stretched and did a few cardio exercises to warm up a little more than I usually do.  I started running and was so relieved that my knee didn't hurt at all and I felt pretty strong.  I planned on doing a three mile loop and thought about extending it while I was running since I felt so good, but decided to stick with my plan and not push it too much too fast.  The weather was great - low 40's but lots of sun and I am very happy to have had a good run.  More stretching when I got home and icing my knee now, trying to get motivated to do some cleaning/organizing this afternoon.  We'll see how that goes...
