Last night, I had a pain in my left knee that resembled a fresh knee-to-knee injury. I am certain it isn’t from my increased run days, just a bad sleeping position. And I am happy to report that waking up this morning, certainly was a brand new day. Not Steve Austin worthy, but my left knee definitely isn’t an issue. On my pain scale of 1 – 10, I’d give it a 2. I know there’s something wrong, but it’s not worth dwelling on.

Life lesson #72 – Pain in the knee can potentially be a pain in the neck. Pay attention to what your body is saying because life is a marathon, not a sprint and you don’t want to limp into the marathon portion of your life.

As of 9:30pm, before publishing this latest post, left knee pain can be felt, but is not an issue. I wore my Ace Brace with custom dial all day.
