AM-Easy-medium 6 miles on 7th east out and back. Watched some videos of Ryan Hall's stride mechanics last night. I usually don't like to copy other runners form however I did practice dropping my arms slightly below my waistline.  I noticed an immediate ease in my form and energy expenditure while doing that.  It was like, why didn't I do this before? 

PM-Easy 4 miles on 7th and 8600s.

Medium 10 miles today with 5 at MP effort 80-85% mhr.  Was going to do 8 but I wrenched my knee coming around the corner on a dip. Ow!!! Jeez! You have got to be stinkin kidding me!  #@&*!!  Luckily after a brief period of walk/jogging I was able to somewhat limp home in one piece.  

I need ice and quick..

PM-Went for a very easy 2 mile jog this afternoon.  A little stiff at first but after a few minutes things warmed up a bit. It seems I may have just pulled the IT band a little connecting the outer knee. Very lucky.. Tells me my connective strength may not be in line with my cardiovascular ability right now.  Demetrio always told me this was a weakness of mine that I needed to work on. But how? Weights maybe?  Just don't know..

PM-12 miles up 9400s out and back with 6 MP miles at 80-85% mhr and 1 AT mile at 90-95% mhr going up the steepest part. IT band on the outside of the left knee started to bug a little in the last miles but was still an improvement over the last couple of days I suppose. Cool down and stretching afterwards with emphasis especially on the left hip.

PM-Easy-medium 10 miles with a nice easy warm up.  Last 6 miles at 6-6:30/mile.  I really like night time in the fall by the way. Something about it just energizes me..  A nice ending to a tough day:)
