Just practicing my swing

In reference to my last post about the golf analogy, I am just practicing my swing at the driving range these days. Every run I am concentrating solely on moving in just the right way (i.e. heels doing this, core doing that, knees going like this, etc.) in order to reduce the possiblity of knee pain post-run. So far it has been working. However, I do miss just being able to go out and get lost in my thoughts during a run. I notice that if I let my mind wander that I start to jog instead of run, and that's when I get knee pain, so for now, I have to fully concentrate on the run until that style becomes routine enough that I can begin to enjoy running again. Ergo, I'm just at the driving range, but maybe I should call it the running range. : )
