"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
On Saturday, I ran seven miles. My goal was to do it in an hour and 5 minutes. I missed my goal by one minute. My knee was sort of bothering me for pretty much the whole time. It felt like I was going so slow....which I kind of was.
Mile 1= 8.51.27
Mile 2= 9.45.33
Mile 3= 9.10.29
Mile 4= 9.47.67
Mile 5= 9.44.28
Mile 6= 9.42.53
Mile 7= 9.26.71
avg mile= 9.29.72
The first two miles could be off because I am not quite sure where the one mile mark is.
I knew I should have walked when my knee started going crazy, but I just couldn't do it. I wanted to be able to run the whole thing with no breaks. Trav was waiting for me at the cross walk, so I probably ran the end a little too fast for what my knee could handle. My knee hurt pretty bad. My dad, who is in orthopedics, checked it out and said that it is most likely my IT band. Saturday night it was so painful that I couldn't help but cry. Yesterday, I tried to stay off of it as much as possible and I have been icing it, so today hasn't been bad. The other knee is starting to have a little bit of pain. I am going to take it easy for today and try to run 3 miles tomorrow.

I am not a doctor, but honestly Crystal, you should try doing yoga. It has made a world of difference in my life! (mentally and physically). I have been reading a book by the man who invented Bikram Yoga (the hot stuff I do). He says that anyone who plays sports, runs, etc needs to balance it out with yoga. Just a suggestion, who knows, maybe it will help you and Travis :)
