Knee (cartilage not IT band) is hurting when I jog (ie playing kickball with Ethan) and go up or down stairs. Not good. Ice tonight.
Hip hurts too, though not as much.
Bother.
Smoother today for the most part. Felt my lack of fitness more. Also felt the knee more. Also made an error (4 minutes) from which I recovered WAY too slowly, particularly considering that where I was was completely obvious. I just didn't want to admit it!
IT/Quad still not in great shape, but the run seemed to loosen them up. At 8 minutes I thought I'd have to stop, but about a minute later it relaxed (knee hurt too).
If I have to pay for every hard run with a week off, it is going to be very hard to make any progress.
