Air quality today is about like pea soup. I can't see any of the mountains! Treadmill running is getting on my nerves! Yesterday was brunette Barbie, today was brunette Fabio. His hair was about as long as mine and he didn't have it pulled back, just hanging long. I don't know how he could run like that I have to have mine all off my neck and face. Anyway he was swinging his head around like he was running for a romance novel photo shoot. I caught him looking at me a few times and I was about to tell him "Yes buddy chubby old ladies can run and by the look of I paces they can do it faster then you" Like I said I think all this treadmill running and stinky air is making me cranky. I think my achy knee is not helping my mood either. 

Kept the pace at about 9:15mm... Here's to hoping the icing, stretching and meds start doing the trick!

FUNNY week :) I like all of your running characters :) So what's up with you knee? I'm sorry it is not being nice to you :(

Way to show up Fabio.

Marion, I don't really know what started my knee bugging. But I think it's just a bad case of runners knee. I really don't think I have tore anything... just some over use issues. So I have been icing it, doing lots of stretching and then some quad exercises. From what I have read on the internet runners knee comes from a enbalance in the quad/hamstring muscles. I have also been taping my knee with the KT tape.

Like pea soup, eh? I guess that means you didn't like it, because nobody likes pea soup.

I think I would like to eat pea soup more then try to breath it LOL

oh crap! Are you looking at your hips? My knee issues have all stemmed from my super lame tight bum and hips. Man, I sure hope you get a hold of the issues :)

I think treadmills and knee pain are making you cranky. Good thing we don't use the same gym. TWO cranky old ladies! My knee is better when I pay 100% attention to running form - i.e., lifting from the hip, landing squarely on the midfoot, etc. And, of course, as Marion said, that means that my hips are working properly and in alignment.
