New PR and time for a rest...

Today we ran for 25 sustained minutes...first time ever! It felt great but about 9 minutes in...I started to feel some pain in my...of all places...right knee. I was wearing my knee sleeve on my left knee (as always) and it felt great the entire time. I was surprised a bit about the right knee "acting up." I say surprised a bit because we have been working out a lot recently...with no days off to rest since last Monday so I think my right knee was trying to send a message to my brain today...7 days in a row (5 running, 2 cycling) ='s time to take a break! I listened and we plan to take tomorrow off. Now...back to that 25 minutes!! I am so proud of us (Steph and I) for going the whole 25 minutes without stopping. It was a beautiful Monday morning for a run...clear...cool...lots of stars out...the moon looked awesome...it was quiet...just Steph, myself and the road! Knowing that my knee was bothering me a bit...I really tried to land soft and as flat as I could...not trying to thump! When we got back home...I iced both knees...did some yoga and plan on icing the knees more later on today. There were a few moments on the road that I thought about stopping and just walking but I really wanted to run for the whole 25 minutes. I did not think it was unrealistic to complete the run. I still feel the same way now...almost 3 hours removed from the moment. I promised myself that if I could just finish...I'd give myself a day off and I will keep that promise...feeling good about what we accomplished today!
