Masters USATF Cross Country National Championships 8k in St. Louis, MO!
Maybe a marathon in 2013?
Long-Term Running Goals:
Enjoy running and racing at whatever level I am able to. Possibly run another marathon post Microfracture Surgery in under 3:00.
Personal:
I'm in the Army. I am married with four children (20/17/13/8 years old). Trying to return to previous running form after having microfracture knee surgery in July 2008.
AM - Did core strength and stretching and then joined Sasha and Jeff for 6 easy miles. The good news is the knee felt a bit better. It hurt a little for the first 1.5-2 miles and then I didn't notice it much after that. The plan is to stick to 6 miles a day this week and see how things progress.
AM - Met Sasha and Jeff for 6 easy miles again. The knee was a little more noticeable today and bugged me for 3-4 miles and then started to feel a bit better after that. It is a strange because it hurt in a slightly different area this morning. It was more towards the front of the knee just below the knee cap today versus the outside of the knee joint. Overall the knee feels much better walking up stairs so that is good. Also did core strength and stretching as well.
AM - Easy 6 again with Sasha, Jeff and Tyler joined us at first but his ankle was hurting so he headed back to do some cross training. Knee was not so good today but still bearable. A day off tomorrow will do it some good.
