Most painful run ever!
I started with 3 miles on the running track and that was ok. And then when I moved on to the roads that's when the soreness and pain on the outer side of my left knee started. It was really difficult to run. I tried the run 6 minutes: walk 1 minute, but once I stopped running and walked it was even more painful to start running again.
Looking back, I probably should have quit running by mile 5. But at that time I really wanted to get 12 miles in. So it ended up being a very slow and painful long long long run.
I'm guessing I'm experiencing the Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS). I will take a few days off, ice my knee few times a day and do some stretches to hopefully help get rid of the ITBS.
I definitely did not enjoy this run.
