Eagle Greenbelt - 44:38

Ran with Casey and Aaron. Windy out today and I didn't feel that great. Nice trail, though, and I always enjoy running here.

With Casey and Spencer. Great trail run (slow pace, but still great) on one of the best trails in the foothills. Warm day - good to be outside.

Canal banks - 35:04

Easy run on the canals. Nice evening - cool and humid but the rain had stopped. This will probably be a typical run of the next 3-4 weeks until (a) my knee gets better and (b) I get back into a little better shape.

Canal banks - NT

First run in a few days. Really worn out this evening. Several hours of work at the cabin on Saturday and today, and some yard work at home earlier in the evening. Knees both still really sore - that one is just a puzzler.

Ran again right at twilight. Knees still sore, especially the left one. 7:40/mile pace is pretty steady right now. That's ok.

Super slow run in the dark. My knee was not in good shape tonight, so I hobbled along at slower than an 8:00/mile pace.

Treadmill - 22:10

Super slow jog on the treadmill at 10 p.m. Knee feeling a bit better - maybe because of the pace.

Canal banks - 26:27

Knee feeling a lot better. Definitely not perfect, but way better than the beginning of the week.

 

Week 1 Summary 

20 miles, 6 runs.  Getting back into regular running but still taking it easy with the knee. Shooting for 28-30 miles next week with all easy running still.

Cassia Park - 44:37

Took the canals to Cassia where I did 2 laps and then back home the same way. 7:25/mile pace. Wish I could say it was easy, but it was rough. Nice warm afternoon, but lots of yard work had me a bit tired. Knee sore but decent enough to run on.

Treadmill at Axiom - 32:20

Slow, easy jog on the treadmill. It was boring and painful (knee), so not a stretch to call it painfully boring.
