I woke up with some serious pain in my right knee. Strange. My legs felt better on Saturday's long run then they have in 4 or 5 weeks. I had zero pain while running, zero pain for the rest of Saturday and zero pain Sunday. First step out of bed on Monday morning wasn't fun. I'll rest today and see how I feel tomorrow.

Knee felt okay, but not 100%.  Figured I'd do my usual pool routine and then run Wednesday.  I pushed it as hard as I could to get a good workout.

  • 10 laps in 13:19, running
  • 10 laps in 12:49, running
  • 10 laps in 6:35, breast stroke
  • 10 laps in 8:51, 4 laps running, 6 laps freestyle
  • 4 laps cooldown with breaststroke and freestyle
I was shocked to see the low times for the first 2 sets.  Ususally, if I go under 15 min, I think I'm pushing it.  Each lap is generally about 90 seconds, but today was no problem doing them in 70-75.  Good stuff.  Hope the knee is okay tomorrow.

Okay run this morning. Just okay. I started out with an easy 6 miles to see how my knee felt. It was fine, so I ran another 6 at more of a tempo pace. As soon as I finished, both of my knees felt strange, almost like they had a swollen sensation. I went home, stretched and took IB and now they feel fine. I'll see what tomorrow brings and may just run one more time this week.

Pace: 6:29

Pool running/swimming and I'm glad I went.  I considered studying for a test instead, but who needs to study?

  • 20 laps in 20:50, run 1 lap, freestyle 1 lap, every other one
  • 20 laps in 13:10, mix of freestyle and breaststroke, every other one
  • 2 laps freestyle to cool down
My legs feel great today, so a few miles Friday and then 13 or so on Saturday.

Decent run this morning in great spring weather--42 degrees. I ran the Cedar Knoll Loop, plus a little on the Kanarraville frontage road for 13 miles, finishing at the college track. Slight knee pain (right knee) just before 4 miles, but then nothing after that. I got a little carried away with spring fever and thought I'd try some barefoot jogging on the football field, but was only able to do 800m before my feet were numb. I guess the snow in the corner of the field should have given me a clue that it's still a little cold out. Another 800 meters to my house and now work for the rest of the day. This was my last "short" long run for 7 weeks, then I'll start to taper for Lincoln. I'm getting pumped, especially after last Saturday's workout.

Total Time: 1:20:57

Pace: 6:13

Mile 1 was 6:38, miles 2-13 none slower than 6:18
