4.8 Mile "Run" in the Pine Bush
Wednesday, December 2, 2009

More of a hobble than a run, really... I pulled on the heaviest neoprene brace I own and stumbled around the Pine Bush trails in the light rain we had tonight. It was nice to be out in the woods, but other than that it wasn't much fun. Very slow going and, no great surprise, my knee hurt. I remember abandoning that heavy brace after a few runs last summer because it was so uncomfortable... I may end up ditching it even sooner this time around.

Now to see how long it takes to bounce back after tonight's round of possible stupidity... who knows, I may be telling the Gail's Trail Run organizers on Sunday not to bother waiting for me because I'll be hiking the course rather than running it... but I'm hoping my knee cooperates enough for me to at least run parts of it... very... very... slowly...
