Two days, two runs

Erinna and I just got in from a trail run. Actually, the same exact loop as I did yesterday. Not much to say really except trail is more fun than road, running with Erinna is more fun than not soooooooo, running on trail with Erinna is 1000% more fun than running on the road by myself. I felt like a puss today, my knee had me walking every 15 minutes or so and my stomach was burning from the delicious greasy potato breakfast I made for us earlier in the day.... I'll need to take a day off after this, but it sure felt great accomplishing two great runs in two days.

2 - Hey there Hippie!
About 45 minutes in I feel a 'pinch' with every step on the right side of my left kneecap. If I stop and walk, it goes away. If I start running again after it's already started I've got 5-15 minutes before I have to stop and walk for 5 again.

3 - hmm, have you heard about Illiotibular band siyndrome? It sounds similar, simple stretching could help, also shorter strides. Liken it to spinning on a bike rather that pushing a big gear, shorter strides = less power= less strain. http://www.itbs.info/html/body_stretches.html (Comment this)
