My head loves running- my knees not so much

Trying to go slowly enough that my knees don't notice. Love the high that even running slowly gives me.

My knees always let me know when I'm going too fast! Slowly, slowly - that's the way to do it. So much more enjoyable when your knees aren't giving you backchat.
