Well, guys... Bad news. My body isn't as rugged as we all thought. (Hahahaha... I'm such a jokester)
I woke up this morning the usual groggy self and started getting ready for the day. I went to put on my skirt when I realized I had new friends growing over the tops of my knee caps. (apparently that was what we call "swelling") I kinda flipped out... It seriously looked like I had traded legs with an overweight elderly woman. My knees were all squishy and super sore. Let's just say there was no skirt wearing today; I was not going out in public with that nonsense showing.
I figured it would go away some time during the day, but no such luck. I talked to a few coach friends and the trainer (and even double checked with runnersworld.com) concerning what I should do. All sources said a day's rest, acetaminophen, and ice. Nothing like having my own team of specialists at my fingertips. So I will be pushing today's run to tomorrow.
I know you all will be sitting on the edge of your seats awaiting the updated information coming tomorrow. Do not worry, readers, I will not disappoint! :)
Talk to y'all manana.

Sounds like you've got it covered; RICE-rest, ice, compression, elevation. My knees only hold up because I've had much more time to condition them for the distance. Trust me, the day after I first hit 10 miles, they were pretty tender. You'll find out the harder you work, the harder you have to rest, lol.
