Knee Pain & Eye of the Tiger

So I've ramped up my running at work this week and today I struggled with knee pain after only two minutes or so into my run. I had a problem with my shins after the first week of running, but this was the first time my knees have really bothered me. Maybe it's the extra running this week or maybe it was an after effect from last night's soccer game. I'm not sure, but either way, my knees were throbbing.

I was about to succumb to the pain and decide to walk my 3rd lap when my iPod timely served up Eye of the Tiger. Visions of Rocky whoopin up on Clubber Lang (or perhaps, for you Modern Family fans out there, Phil Dunphy renewing his vows with Claire in Hawaii) successfully pushed me through the final lap.

I hope my knees don't become an issue throughout the rest of the weight loss challenge, but it's reassuring to know that if they do, it's nothing a little music and extra strength aspirin can't handle.
