Mile 9: progress

It felt really good to give my old pair of running shoes some use. I was really nervous to run 4 miles on Friday afternoon, but I kept a steady 10 minute-mile pace with some walking breaks.

It's frustrating to not be at my usual level of endurance, but I'm trying to be patient and not push my body too hard. When I was 16, I tore my MCL muscle cliff jumping at the Lake (thank you impulsivity) and it still acts up these days - especially when I run too hard, too fast. I have my old knee brace, but I feel like it is just going to slow me down.

However, knee ache and all, it felt good to finish up the 4 miles with a smile still on my face. 

Any advice on running with a previous knee injury?
