3 mi.
Was just going to do three miles on my way to picking up the kids. I have a bit of a sore throat, and what with last weekend's knee strain, it seemed sensible to limit today's run. But after a bit I started feeling pretty good, so decided to extend the run to five miles or so. No matter, three miles was the natural limit. Some ITBS came on quickly on the outside of my left knee just before hitting the three-mile mark. So stretched it out and massaged the hammies and side enough to walk on it, but I wasn't sure I could still make the kids cut-off time at Discovery Club. I was still about two miles out and limping slightly. So I called my brother for help.
Once again, I got lackadaisical about stretching and massaging in between runs, and paid the price. Oh well, at least it's nothing serious, just a strain that rest and pulling back a bit should take care off. More wounded pride though.
