AM - 8 miles
Another gorgeous morning. Although, I could have gone without the smell of the dump. My left knee is really bothering me. Tried to keep my form as normal as possible but favoring the knee threw me off a little. The pace felt a little more uptempo than I usually run but I have been running watchless lately so I really have no idea what the pace actually was. Probably a little below 7:30/mile.
PM - 5.5 miles
Dropped my girls off at soccer practice in Farmington and thought I would run by Farmington Bay. My horrible sense of direction and awareness put me in the middle of a swamp. After wading through some stinky mud and hopping a fence found my way on to a dirt road. Followed it to the Legacy Trail in Centerville where I looped back to the soccer fields. Crossed paths with JD and ran with him for a couple of miles. I've said it a million times before but the effort when running with somebody seems so much easier than when you are alone. JD and I had a good "runners" conversation. No knee or ankle pain during the run. Leads me to believe that the pain in the morning is just start up pains. |
