A.M. Canal Banks - 13:44

Took an easy jog and then a short walk with my dog, Leo, this morning. Snowy but nice.

P.M. Greenbelt - 2:08

I did a 3 mile loop from the DoubleTree and then headed downstream toward Barber Park. My leg was feeling somewhat better so I unintentionally ran a little faster than I wanted for the first 6 miles (7:15 pace). My plan was to keep it at 7:40-8:00 pace this week until the hamstring was completely better. By mile 8, I was having a lot of soreness on the inside of my knee, right where the hamstring attaches to the knee. The last 7 miles of this run were very tough. I stopped twice to stretch and in the last few miles was hobbling at 9:00 mile pace or slower in places. I would have walked back to the car, but it was too cold.

I guess I might have been a little ambitious the last 3 days (42 miles). I'm guessing I'll be taking some days off now. We'll have to see.

Sorry to hear about the pain in your knee. Not quite sure what to tell you about this pain, never had it. Take it easy, research the pain and get some healing time in.

How's the weather over there? It is COLD here!
