10:1 (x4)

First run of the new year! Opted to run very slowly, with legs close to the ground and shorter strides (according to Jeff Galloway) as I experienced some runner's knee "sensations" of over a year ago on the left leg. I also wore my knee brace for extra support. I am thrilled that today's run went well -- I did feel the "sensations" a couple of times but that's it. I will continue to monitor this and will not hesitate to contact the sports medicine doctor if need be. So, as I inch towards running 1000 MILES this year, I covered 4.99 K. The weather is cold, with some snow on some parts of the road and sidewalks.
