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.

Uh oh, real pain in my left knee.  In hindsight maybe it was from turning on the square track during striders?  I don't know exactly what I did yesterday to cause the acuteness, but it isn't good so far.  Tried running lighgtly... but then just had trouble walking instead.  : D

PM: Sore, but knee pain subsided a bit to where I could only feel it after the run going up the stairs.  Progress.

AM: 2 miles with the group in Safety Harbor.  Felt sore, but no pain..

PM: 2 miles.  Decided to try to run a little more to A) see if I was sore/had pain, and B) to see if I could handle 13 miles tomorrow at any pace.

I've decided- no pain so I'm going to try it.  Race warm-up as normal with striders.  Check the knee thoroughly, then if pain-free go for it for mile 1.  If after mile one or two I feel incapable, drop back and run for fun.  If I am pain free- which I doubt highly- I'll go for it.  

My expected outcome is to run the half and just enjoy it- not race it- and hopefully exit it pain free.
