Oldness

For the first time in my life, I really do feel like I'm getting old. I've been running quite a bit the past month and all winter I used Andy's road bike set up on a trainer in the living room. So I'm not super out of shape and I have been doing physical activity fairly consistently. On Sunday I ran a little over 3 miles which is has been the norm lately. I also didn't run faster or harder then I usually do either. However, when I woke up on Monday, my left knee was in pain so I decided to take a day off of running. Tuesday it felt quite a bit better, but I still wanted to be careful so I only ran 2 miles, very slowly. Wednesday morning I woke up and to my dismay, the pain was more intense than it was before.

With my largest numbered birthday to date coming up next week, I feel older than ever. I mean who wakes up with a random pain for no reason? Old people do! It wasn't like it was the first time I had exercised in 2 years. This pain was no "I'm out of shape and I'm really sore pain". It was a "Hey Michelle, you are getting old" type of random pain. 'Sigh'

Sunday I am running another 5k - it's the April Fools Day 5k and I'll let you know how old I feel after that.
