The girls and I started our casual running club on Tuesday and we ran the perimeter of Lake Merritt, which happens to be 3 miles around. I used to run this route while in grad school and it had been that long since I had last been there. They’ve made a lot of cool improvements and it was a great place to kick off our weekly run and the first sunny day in a couple weeks.

Unfortunately, I had some crazy knee pain the day after.  I felt a twinge in the morning but my job really exacerbated.  I’m kneeling, bending, and running up and down two flights of stairs all day and I really felt it when I got home.  Fortunately, after icing it twice that night and taking Advil before going to bed, I’m back to my old self.  That was weird.
