Much better than Thurs. Last week I was really concerned about my knee. But it seems to be somewhat better. Today it felt tight but not the same pain as on Thurs. The weather was also the perfect fall night, slight drizzle and cool. I just did the home loop as a "quick" run. Avg. 7:13 HR 159

Glad your knee seems better other than tightness. Do you put on MYO Med before every run? Maybe this might help. Good to see your doing well and still running. Are you just trying to keep your fitness now and try to start training for next year in a few months?

Hi Kory, I only do MyoMed before races. I can't afford to use it before every run. Looking at the ingredients though VaporRub has even more menthol etc. and I've used that as a substitute. I've also been on and off the NSAIDs but I prefer to be off of them entirely. I'm curently working on a project with a couple PTs and I'm supposed to go back in to see if we could change my orthotics. I've had the same pair for almost 10yr (about 8 new covers). My plan is to start training for SLC in Dec.
