I ran another half marathon this morning before work. Add that to the one I ran on New Year’s Day and that gives me a solid 26.2 miles this year. My wife gave me a great pair of Nike running shoes for Christmas. They felt very strange at first — they’re the lightest sneakers I’ve ever owned — but now I love them.

The only bummer is that my right knee seems to only last about six miles before I start experiencing excruciating pain. As my friend is quick to note, I’m no doctor. But to me it feels like my lateral collateral ligament is what’s causing problems. I can’t tell if it’s simply getting inflamed or if I might have damaged it somehow. Aspirin helps, but I think I’m going to have to see a doctor about it.

I just finished a 13.1 mi run with a pace of 9'19"/mi with Nike+ Running. http://t.co/TJElrD84 #nikeplus
