Roegner Park. Ran solo today because I wasn't sure how my knee was going to do. I wore my knee brace on the L knee. It was all just a trial run. I ended up being able to run further than I thought I could with very little pain. It wasn't until mile 10+ where my knee started hurting me more. It was actually my opposite knee in the front direct that was sharp pain that made me stop. My L knee was slightly bothersome on mile 5 but it seemed to go away and wasn't as drastic. I learned to stop and walk when I felt some real pain to not further injure myself. It was a nice day for a run! Cloudy but not too cold. Lot of independant runners and a couple running together. A lot of disc golfers out as well + the walking dog clan. Felt a lot of endurance; just too bad I couldn' t complete the 15 miles but I was just shooting for as much as I could get. I will try for my longer run next week (fingers crossed). Felt pretty good today.

TT: about 2 hours (my gps wasn't as accurate because I walked a couple of miles after and forgot to stop it before I got into my car and started to drive.)

Avg: 10:17 min.                        Max: ?

ARSHS. Ran on track early a.m  5:30 ish. Foggy, light mist. Was worried about knee if it would be bothersome. I wore L knee brace. Ran 5 miles on track=15 laps on track. 2 miles one directions then 2 miles other direction; then last mile switched directions again. Felt pretty good this a.m. no walks. No pain:) Felt pretty good. No one out this early; only saw a couple of bikers and a person walking dog at elementary school.

ARSHS. Ran on track again at about 5:30 a.m. This time I tried without brace on L knee. I seemed to do okay. I was worried on the first lap or so because some slight pain already started but it dissipated quickly. I was so happy about that! I was able to finish the 15 laps=5 miles on track. 2 miles on direction, 2 the other direction, last mile opposite direction. Felt pretty good. Foggy, misty again.

Game Farm Park. 4:30 p.m. after work in Enumclaw. Weather was yucky; misty, slight rain and kind of humid. Still had a great run though! My goal was 10 miles today and I completed it!!!!! I am so happy about a semi long run before my long run on Sunday (fingers crossed on no pain). I ran 10 laps around Game Farm park. It was kinda the same thing but I didn't mind it too much even doing the laps. It was too muddy/wet to do Roegner today. There weren't many people at first but then lots of people started coming in to take their kids to soccer practice and such. Busy busy. I did take 2 short breaks during the run. Mile 6 I had to take a bathroom break and then  mile 7 I took a quick break to drink some water because I forgot my water bottle packs.

TT: 1:28:40                               Avg: 8:52                          Max: 3:52 ? That can't be right?
