My knees and legs are really killing me.  I ran on Saturday at the Grissom Middle School track.  It was cold and very windy.  Half of the way around the track I was running into a stiff head wind.  My legs hurt so much I could hardly put one leg in front of the other, but I made it for the entire 60 minutes...but so slow!!!  I think that I am much stronger because I am not winded, and I would like to pick up my pace.  The pain in my legs has me a little frightened.  I don't want to do any permanent damage to my legs or knees.

I spoke with my hairdresser (a.k.a. the head girls' track coach at Concord High School), and she instructed me to get a knee brace.  I am going to get one tonight.  Tomorrow Jason, our trainer from Health and Lifestyle Center, said that we are going to run the Sunburst course...and back!!! That is a little frightening as well.  I really would like to try running there and back; however, I would like to be able to walk, also. My husband said that he would meet me at the Notre Dame Bookstore...if I don't want to run all the way back to Health and Lifestyle Center.  I may take him up on that.  :-)
