I actually meant to go 6 miles today, but at 4.75 I felt a pain all of a sudden in my left knee and left hip; so I figured I would cut it short.  I still don't know what happened.  I probably could've run through it, but I'm a week and a half away from my 1/2 and getting nervous -- plus I was just passing the shortcut to my house.  And ... well, I'm a wimp.  (hee,hee)

I tried Chi running today, but my form wasn't as good today.  It's hard to maintain on hills, more specifically the downhill portion.  I might have to watch the video a few more times to keep it fresh in my mind too.

Smart to stop when you feel pain. I'll have to check out this Chi running that you & Lybi have written about!
