Tempo workout again this morning.  Debated about getting up early or just doing it after the kids went to school, but dragged my sorry butt out of bed early.  Glad I did, too, a lot to do this morning.  It's my oldest boy's birthday today so I'm going to eat all the calories I burned off this morning :)

On a side note, learned something interesting today.   My younger sis has been having trouble with her knees while running.  It's gotten so bad she hasn't been able to run lately, so she decided to go see a sports medicine doctor.  The first question he asked her was what side of the road she ran on.  Apparently, you should switch it up.  Did not know that.  I always just run against traffic, for safety reasons.  Because she always ran on the same side of the road, her hips were out of balance which has caused her knee problems.  So, all she needs is a little PT to fix her problem, thank goodness, and the rest of us can learn from this. So, glad to know this!
