MISSING PICTURE HERE    

Set out today to test my knee on this cool afternoon along the forgiving, wooded trails at Turkey Swamp Park.  I did not experience any pain while running, albeit slowly.  I evaluated my knee as I passed each lap and pushed on each time to complete  5.8 miles.  That exceeded my expectations for today’s run by far!  It was both exhilarating and serene on the trails this afternoon, and I had to stop and take a picture to share  with my loyal readers.  But the picture that I took with my phone camera has too many pixels. So, it won’t load up to my blog. You will have to take my word for how enjoyable the trails were today.      

I did ice the knee afterwords out of an abundance of caution.
