Man down!

Distance: 2.02 miles

Time: Didn't pay attention

Route: Treadmill

I have been having trouble with my right knee again. That little booger has been giving me trouble since about November. When I ran the marathon, it flared up at mile 9 and went numb at mile 14. At mile 22, everything started to hurt, so nothing really mattered. :) Well, it's been 3 months since then and it's still giving me issues. So, tonight, I decided to go ahead and walk on the treadmill - but on an incline--8%. We have no hills in Shreveport. Okay, I lie. We have at least one decent hill by Gavin's school in the South Highlands area. But, it's a pain in the ass to get to, so the treadmill it is.

I started up and it was decently busy in the gym. I've had a lot of mental issues as well, lately. Not crazy issues, but just a lot of thoughts..."Do I really want to do another one?" "Should I run Bay to Breakers?" "Should I walk it?" A lot of hemming and hawwing. I'd like to try and run it, but I'll just leave up to how I feel on Sunday.

As I was hitting mile 2, there was a guy on an elliptical in front of me. One second he was on there...the next second, he was down on the ground. Poor guy fell off! I immediately hit the stop button to make sure he was okay. He said he was all right and that he was more embarrassed than anything. I told him that I have a strong tendency to fall while running on flat surfaces, so I know what he felt like. At least he laughed. :)
