4 mile Tuesday

Well my knee pain really went down over yesterday. That made me really happy. I keep worrying about all these injuries other people tend to get when continually beating their bodies up and so I am concerned about it happening to me. I have been really lucky so far...I just hope it continues. The weather was cold, but not too bad. The wind was supposed to be blowing really hard but it also was bad at all. I had downloaded some more tunes from my other computer and so I tried to use that to push me a little bit. The first mile I felt was a decent pace, but I did not look down at the mile mark. My end time tells me I was probably a bit slower to start than normal...because I really pushed pretty hard the last two miles. I had to run in the street a couple of times to avoid walkers and that always make me nervous. One...I really don't want to get plucked off by a car and two....I don't like coming up on people and scaring them. I have tried announcing my presence, but no one ever seems to notice so I feel dumb for saying anything. It was a nice run even though I had a lot to do before class. My time was 36 min 18 secs. I had to pause a few times for turning cars and crosswalks....but it is ok. When I don't hit that 9 min mile I get annoyed and use that to push harder the next run. Tomorrow morning will be coming really early...seven miles....
