4 miles on treadmill 35.43.

I didnt take my glucosamine pills this morning and both my knees felt very uncomfortable starting at about 6:00 p.m. My day was a little bit more busy than usual, so I didnt get to run until 9:30 p.m. My left knee was very uncomfortable at this point, but I went ahead and ran anyways. My knee almost hurts now, it is certainly painful, almost a hurt. Hopefully it was just the lack of glucosamine, we will see how tomorrow goes.

I wore a long sleeve tech shirt, with a short sleeve tech shirt over the top of that. A black rhino beanie (it was probably a little too thick, but not bad), long johns under my bball shorts, and black gold toe socks on my hands. The socks were the best part, when my hands were cold I could just bunch up the socks and warm them up, when my hands got too warm, just open yours hands, and whalaa, a nice cold breeze.

My left knee still feels a little funny, I hope its just some lingering effects of not taking glucosamine yesterday.

3 miles outside (28 degrees, 8:45 a.m.), still taking it slow trying to build a little base for my legs and such, dont judge because I only go 3 or 4 miles a day.

Todays run was one of my more favorite runs. It started to snow very lightly for about half a mile, and I loved it. At one pont I was running on very BRIGHT yellow leaves that had about 1/2" of snow here and there. I was a little nervous about slipping, but that wasnt a problem. My route only had 9 turns total, so it was pretty straight and not slippery at all where I needed to turn. My all time favorite run was in the spring when I got caught in a downpour. There was one point where I was running through about 1" of water rushing down the street. I guess I just enjoy running when moisture is falling form the sky.

Today I wore my black rhino beanie, 3 tech shirts (2 long sleeve, with a short sleeve on the outside), long johns under my bball shorts, and a pair of those dinky gloves (I hate to say it, but I was a little embarrassed of my gold toe socks being worn on my hands, so I bought my wife and I a pair of gloves, $1.40 for 2 pair). This was just about right for a short 3 or 4 mile run when it is around 30 degrees, if I had to go any more than 4 it probably would have been a little too warm.

I was feeling a little under the weather today, so my motivation to run was very low. Finally at 8:30 I decided I had better run so I dont kick myself in the morning.

I did 3.6 miles on the treadmill while watching a basketball game. I took it really slow, just under a 9:50 pace. At the end of my run I was sweaty, but my lungs felt great, I wasnt out of breath at all.

My right knee feels a little bit stiff (same spot that I took several weeks off to let heal), I dont think it should be a problem.

Overall today was a good short run. I cant wait to start running greater distances, but I know I must give my legs and lungs the proper amount of time.

40 degrees. 2 tech shirts (short over long), long johns under bball shorts, dinky gloves. Felt great for 5 miles and 40 degrees, maybe a teeny tiny bit too warm, but it felt good.

My left knee felt a ltitle funny during the run so I was hesitant to run mile 5 as fast as I could,but I did it anyways. Afterwards both knees feel good.

38 degrees, wore the same stuff as yesterday. I guess I really felt the 2 degree difference between yesterdays 40 and todays 38. I was really cold at first, and still a little chilly at the end.
