Weather kind of nasty and had a pretty good tail wind for the first few miles, but it was pretty stiff going back with sand and salt water in face on the way back. I kind of like the bad weather to run in, once I get out there: it makes me feel like I am actually achieving something because I could be home warm and dry. On the down side, my right knee has been bothering me for more than a couple of weeks now and is painful today (Monday) as I write this. I think it may have to do with muscle tightness so I will have to make sure I stretch today. 10:41 pace I started a class this past weekend at CPMC that was recommended to me by my PT: Total Body Fitness. More like Total Body Soreness! But I think I will buy a ten class pass and do that every Saturday. They also offer gait analysis and make recommendations for corrections with follow up visits. I may give this a try, because since the accident, I have had one little injury after a another and it is keeping me from running and enjoying it as much as I used to. UCSF also offers a similar thing but from the look of it, it is more comprehensive and includes running with a small group. The waiting list is at least 6 months long, but I put myself on it and will see when my turn comes up. They also do a full body analysis as well, including VO2 Max, body comp, et al.
