2 miles on the treadmill.  The left knee started to hurt consistently so I called it a short run.  It's been bugging me since Saturday's race, so Mike and I are talking more seriously about getting me a bicycle.  I just seem to have a knack for running injuries.

Good for you for giving the treadmill a try, but I feel bad about your knee. The bike sounds like a good idea. Maybe you need to go that route for a while and try running again sometime in the future when the knee has had a chance to heal.

The most common time to get an injury (that I've noticed from reading on the blog) is in the first week or two after a really great race. That's why I think it is a good idea to do a reverse taper, where you just start out with a very few miles and increase gradually as you finish recovering. Hope you are feeling better! Go see you quack, I mean, your chiropractor! Love you.
