301 running? good? bad?

I'm gearing up for an effort if tomorrow's weigh in doesn't look good.  I do like that WW is now saying that you can mix up the core plan with the points plan on a day to day basis. That sounds good!  One of the things that bugs me most about WW is that they call for childlike faith in their plan and then change their plan every time you turn around.  Granted, they are consistently changing for the better---I remember when you had to have so many proteins, veggies etc.  Good idea, but nobody really eats like that.

Yesterday's trip to SLC went very well and is a huge load off my mind. Finally doing what I should have been doing all along is going a long way toward helping me release some guilt and maybe that will help me release some weight as well. 

The practical question for today is to run or not to run? I do NOT want to further damage my knees, but I also don't want to not try for a 5K! So far, I seem ok--not in actual pain or anything, it's just that my knees feel so rickety and it scared me how hard the weights were for me last Tuesday. I guess I'll keep going until I really can't.  Like the weights---I could tell that continuing that one exercise was going to be harmful. I don't feel that way with running yet--so I think I'll go ahead with 12 minutes today.  I can't wait till it's warm enough that I can run outside and see how far along I can get on our 5K route.
