3mi @ -3F

It's cold out there. No wind, plenty of sun, and I think I dressed perfectly. Most important detail: not a peep out of my R knee. Felt great the whole time.

I did a 2 min : 30 sec run/walk ratio, which seemed perfect. I will use that for a while.

2:1 Ratio

Well, my blasted R knee is still acting up. Mostly it's along the ITB, but sometimes it creeps over the knee cap to be more like petellar tendonitis. Running with a 2:1 ratio makes it almost go away. I did 4 miles with 2:1 and it was fine. A couple of days ago, I did 3:1 for a few runs, and it came back. So today I did a 3-miler with 2:1 and it was only slightly sore.

I think I will run 2:1 until it goes away completely. If that means I run the April marathon 2:1, so what?
