Went to St. Pete to talk with some running mates and try to get back on "track." Wasn't planning anything hard, and after about 3 miles of warmup, I decided to do some striders around the track for 800 meters. I stopped to discuss the workout with Sean and company, and decided to do a quick jog to get my hear back up, but I felt an immediate out-of-nowhere pain along the left sifde of my knee. I tried just running it off thinking it like a basketball "injury", but literally couldn't run, jog, and then had to hop on one foot back to the start line. I threw in the towel after a couple more attempts to run and hobbled off to the nearest bar instead.
The acuteness and sudden-onset has me worried.
In other news, I finished another awesome book- "The Martian." I appreciated the math/engineering that coincided with the story line as well as the guy-humor. Well-placed swearing always makes a book better.
