Workout with the Black Sheep this morning at East High Track. After the 1.2 mile warmup, we ran 12 x 300 m with 100m jog recoveries in between. These progressively got faster by a second each interval. My knee was not feeling great early on so I hung back a bit and socialized through most of these.  Next we ran 4 x 800m.  These were supposed to be Yasso 800s, but my times were so inconsistent they hardly qualified for that.  Times were 2:54/2:51/2:41/2:37.  The last one felt quick--relatively speaking--and I could not have kept that pace over ten intervals.  Casey was hanging with me nicely on the last couple, Josh was way ahead on all of them. Then we ran a few laps for cooldown.  The knee didn't give me any real problems after the 300s though it is a little tender right now and likely will be for some of the day. At what point will I actually seek medical attention?  A great question. For now, I am glad to have had  a little work on the track.

Sorry the knee is still bugging you. But I'm glad to see that it isn't preventing you from still getting in some track work...

Adam--I know I probably should be running on the track and should give the knee proper healing time so I can actually come back and train like I mean it. For now, just glad to run a bit.
