Walked on the beach in the morning with my parents (Cooper had a BLAST!).  Then once we got home ran 3.5 miles with Cooper (in the dark), literally all on the one street in front of our house, because there are signs about coyotes in our neighborhood that scared me.  My knee hurt around 2.5 and it was really stiff afterwards, that's not good. 

Need to run 10 miles in 10 days - that's doable right?!

Did the Fleet Feet Bonney Lake Tour de Lights again this year, with Lisa, Jordanne, Anya, and baby Denali (I got to push the BOB a little!).  Brrrrrr!  Ran around a neighborhood of fancy houses with fancy Christmas lights (it was supposed to be a 5k but once again was very short, especially since we ran extra to meet back up with Lisa). 

Knee hurts, booooooo.  Think we might go join a gym tonight.

I hate hate hate my knee.  I'm so sick of this! I fel I've been doing EVERYTHING.... AND i'm out of ideas.  Advice?

I'm going to join the community center on Wednesday, swimming, elliptical, and weights are my future I guess.  Though I do need to run 4.5 more miles before next Saturday!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
