Sore Kneecaps

I really didn't know if I could do it, and I'm a bit surprised that I did, but I ran 12 miles yesterday morning. I didn't break any speed records or anything. It took me 2 hours and 15 minutes. But that is a lot faster than I thought it would be. I thought it would take me 3 hours!

Running 12 miles when my body is really in no shape to do so takes its toll, however. My kneecaps hurt. My lower back hurts. My legs hurt. But the silver lining to all this soreness? I can totally justify getting a massage!
