Ran outside in some sixty degree weather?! It seems like I am adapting to running at least 3 miles at a minimum when I exercise....good improvement. There was tension in my right knee, but it feels ok right now. The weird thing about today's run was that I actually wanted to run. I was looking forward to it. Maybe because that's because running is a stress release mechanism...good way to ward off those panic attacks.

BREAK OUT RUN TODAY!...or maybe just a good run. I had to work extra hard during this run because my legs would not move very easily. My energy levels were low, probably because I had a hamburger and tater tots during lunch. The fast food is just not worth it.  My right knee was pretty tight but not the normal bad patellofemoral pain. Weather is getting much nicer.

I walked to the bank and post office (1.35 miles), and followed that up by running figure-eights through the neighborhood streets (3.65 miles). The run was pretty automatic thanks to my thoughts (i.e. worries/concerns) about working with the medical response team at tonight's football game against UNLV. As an EMT student with only a MINIMAL amount of knowledge, I did not have a clue what I would encounter or be expected to do. The run was a good outlet to level me out since I was not sitting around letting the anxiety mount. Figure-eights add at least a mile to the normal route I take, and there are some slight uphill and downhill sections as I run east and west, respectively. Overall a good relaxing morning, and the game turned out ok too.
