Day4: The first signs of pain

So I woke up early enough to get a quick run in without being late to work.  It was a struggle, and much slower than the previous days.  My knee wasn't stiff, but it ached a lot, only getting slightly better as I warmed up.

 I have 3 ideas as to why my knees hurt. 
1) It was the 4th day straight of running without taking a day off.  I don't like this one because I've only been going about 1 mile, or so, no more than 1.5 miles.
2)After my run yesterday I played basketball with guys from work, and I me right after my run.  I finished my run, changed shoes and started playing.  The jumping and lateral movement could be a reason.
3) My body didn't have a chance to warm up as it has the last few days.  I got out of bed got dressed and was out of the door in 5 mins.

Hopefully this goes away, but either way I'm happy that I could at least muster the energy to get up and run before work.
