10.45 miles easy with Dave on the base perimeter road. I broke in my Brooks Transcend this morning. They felt pretty good and will serve as a recovery day shoe for me with its extra cushion.

My knee is a mystery. It feels 100% fine in the evenings and has full range of motion, doesn't hurt to fully bend or anything. You wouldn't even know it was aching. But then two miles into the run it hurts to bend it and my stride gets shorter to accommodate. I really need this to heal up. I may take more days off and if it slows me down a bit for phoenix so be it. I'd rather kill it at Boston anyway.

Ugh so frustrating Riley, I'm sorry! Hang in there and definitely keep the bigger picture in mind. A few days off now really wont set you back and could save you from making it worse.

Your knee is doing opposite of what mine is doing. It is fine during runs its just after the run that it swells and hurts and cant bend it ugh! I wonder if I have arthritis. Seriously sad if I do. Im a old lady!

Where on your knee is it hurting? Front/side? Just on the side? Just the front?
