1.2 mile walk through the hood.  All the pear trees are full of leaves, the dogwoods are sneaking out now, and the wisteria is ready to pop a purple show on us.

Early morning.  Did my physical therapy before my run & had no knee problems, even with the smaller knee band.

shred level 2 and 45 min on the elliptical

after dinner, went for another walk around the hood with MR.  Wisteria is out and smells so beautiful.  Love the spring, but there's so much yellow pollen now.  The pine trees are showering us with their love.

Speed/Tempo today.  Did my physical therapy exercises again before starting my run.  I'm thinking it helps keep my knee in check.  It cuts 15 minutes out of my workout time, but it really is working out, isn't it?

the plan was 7 total, 4 at a 9:09 pace.  My first mile was 9:48, and every mile after that was under 9:09.  The last 1.5 were going to be my cool down, but I felt so good that I just kept running at the faster pace.  My last mile was the fastest of all (around 8:10).  Avg pace was 8:46.

There is so much pollen in the air right now.  My headlamp was lighting up all the particulates in the air, and there was so much pollen that it looked like I was running in a smoky or foggy cloud.

63* outside this morning.  Warmest morning we'll have for the next week, but it was delicious!

Kenpo X.  Then I had to call it quits to make the coconut/chocolate/macadamia nut bread pudding in honor of Chocolate Appreciation Week.

MR took Wyatt and I on a long run around the airfield on base. He was going to run a while & then ride, but threw in the towel before we left the parking lot and rode the whole way. It must have been a long 3 hours for him, but he was a good water boy & never complained. I've read that it's good to run slow on your long runs because it takes longer and gets your body used to running a longer time. If that's the case, then it was a good long run today. Our pace was pretty darn slow, but the distance didn't seem so bad. We had a lot to talk about & catch up on. What is amazing is we both ended up back in town a couple hours later at the same restaurant. We hadn't even planned or discussed it. We were there texting each other & didn't know we were both there!!! My knee isn't in a lot of pain, and I didn't have pain running today, but it feels sore tonight. Probably just from the distance. Nice run on a beautiful spring day before the rain started. It started raining on the drive home & it's rained all day. Dogwoods are all in bloom and the trees are beautiful with their green leaves. Wisteria are all over the place and the holly tree blossoms smell soooo sweet.
