I finally felt like running again and decided to get out and see where my leg is.  I probably ran a little too hard, but it was good to get out.  I noticed from marathon photos that I run with tension in my shoulders.  (I also noticed this from sore shoulders after the race.)  I paid attention to it as I ran today and I do run with tension there.  I had to keep forcing myself to relax them.

 My hip flexor didn't hurt, but I had some pain in my right knee.  I'm not sure how much running I should do right now, but I don't want to lose fitness.  I'll have to think about where to go from here.

head shoulders knees and toes..that's what you have to say to yourself as your running to keep your body in check. I do it all the time.
