Injury Timeout

Since just after the Dallas marathon I've had a nagging little pain in my left knee. It wasn't there on every run and didn't bother me during the Houston marathon but it would pop up here and there, though it never caused me to stop. But Sunday night it did. During my attempted long-run I had to stop and walk home after about five miles.

So the plan was to take the week off to let it heal. I really think that's all it's gonna take. And my time off became a no-brainer on Tuesday when I woke up with the flu that my 4 year old had. So, no running for a few more days, but that's what I had planned anyway. I guess if you're going to be sick the best time is when you're taking some time off anyway.
