Wahoo! Woke up today and the throat was still sore, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. So I went out for my run. I put in SuperFeet insoles in the hopes of helping my knee, but as of now my knees are feeling a little sore and stiff. Not sure if I just need to strengthen up a little bit or if this is going to become a huge problem. I had planned on running again tomorrow to make up for the days I missed when I was sick, but I'll have to see how my knees feel - if they're hurting, I'll take a rest day.
Anyway - I stopped doing Couch to 5K because once I did the "Run 20 minutes straight" day I hated going back to intervals. One of my favorite blogs is Runs For Cookies - she's this amazingly inspiring woman who lost almost half her weight and runs all the time. Anyway, I decided to try to follow her "5 K Plan for People Who Hate to Run", which called for me to run 2.25 miles today. Instead, I ran a mile, walked .2 miles, and then ran another mile. Cardio-wise I didn't need that walk, but my knee felt like it did. Rather than jumping up to 2.5 miles on my next run, I'll probably just wait and see if I can manage to run the whole 2.25 miles. My first mile was run in 12:06, my second was 13:23 (but that includes that .2 mile walk) and then the last little part was in 11:27. Not terrible!
