Out of shape

Today the Philosophy class was canceled. That gave me the first opportunity to go to recreation in a long while. I got outside and figured I would take it easy on my run. I did a short warm up and a few stretches, then took off with a jog. For the first mile I was surprised at how fresh and fit I was feeling. I could breathe and cycle my legs without much effort. Even through the second mile I was running well.


When I completed the second mile I noticed a pain in my knees just below the joint. I used to get the same pain playing soccer during high school, but this felt much sharper. I had to stop the run after two and a half miles, not one of my best days at all. Not even average.
