January 12th

We ran yesterday and today. Although my knees didn't bother me too much yesterday, they ached a lot today from the hills in anthem and part of me is still concerned with overdoing it so early in our training. Our next marathon is in 9 weeks.
I'm sure I came off stubborn today when I decided I didn't want to push it and we stopped a mile early, and again when I decided I didn't want to cross major streets without stopping to use the signal. I see where nick is coming from and he's probably right. Ill use every excuse to stop, unless my partner calls me out on my shenanigans. Maybe I can hit the light while keeping in motion. Like I've been trying to drink my water. I am annoyed to add that to the list of things I'm trying to work on.

I have several goals in mind that I am going to focus on already.
1. I'm trying to stop less. This is a lot harder than I thought.
2. work on healing my knee. I'm doing what I need to and all I know to, I've iced and elevated it tonight and have taken ibuprofen for the inflammation.
3. I am going to try to incorporate some speed into each workout. Although I remembered today that when I do, it increases my chance that I'll want to walk after. Whoopsie.
4. Breathing. I don't exactly know where to start, as I've been breathing all my life and it's worked out fine up until this point. All I have figured out is that when I get into a rhythm jogging, I can breathe with that rhythm and it feels right. It becomes out of sync again if we speed up, cross roads, or work harder like go uphill. we ran a 10k today. Didn't hit my (nicks) goal time. Will try again Tuesday.
