Ran the SG 50 mile relay today! Not sure if I was up to it after working a 16 hr shift at work yesterday and not getting to bed until 1am (yuck)....but once I actually got out of my warm bed this morning and met my family....I was re-energized! We had an all family team, even Melody (cousin in law) came up from Vegas to run. I was a little scared cuz I didn't want to push it to much on my knee, but we weren't trying to break any records....just fun! I opted to do the shorter runs ( a 3 miler and a 6 miler) to be on the safe side. I was excited too because for the last few months anything faster than an 8:45 min/mile and my body felt like my knee is stabbing my leg to death! (maybe a bit dramatic!) anyway on the 3 miler my avg pace was 7:25 and 6 miler avg pace was 7:50! yeah and knee is great! (I think the adrenaline and endorphins were on my side!). Hope this good streak of absent knee pain continues!! I totally felt so out of shape though......seriously if you don't use it...you loose it! Right after we were done, we went and picked up baby from babysitters then hurried and got ready for my work Christmas party! I was kinda glad the party was same day of the run, because I knew there would be plenty of food and sinfully yummy treats to eat! The party was so fun, we did a white elephant gift exchange and I think I got the funniest gift.....I got a "President Obama Chi Pet" HA HA HA
