A good run

There are few runs that are better than those you take after coming off of three days rest and which occur just after a rain in the cool August air. I did the old route I used to take back in college during the summers when I was living at home. Could not be more pleased with how nicely my body responded tonight. But, coming off of a sports medicine rotation, I find myself getting nerveous about my knees - my right knee in particular. It doesn't hurt. Does it? No, it really doesn't hurt at all...I don't think. But I'm nerveous that it might start hurting. Perhaps I'm just paranoid. Since every single patient you see in a sports medicine clinic is there because of some sort of musculo-skeletal injury, I find myself not believing that it is possible to engage in distance running without getting injured. We'll just continue to take it one run at a time.
