I went against my game plan for the week and did a long run. I just could not say no the nice sunny afternoon. It was soo nice after work. So I put on my skimpiest running outfit and hit the trail. I ran most pretty much the same 10 miler that kicked my butt last Wed... I just added a different trail somewhere along the line and add a mile and a half or so. I felt pretty good. Really didnt try and run hard. If I pushed it at all it was from miles 7-10. My knee is a little sore now (morning after). Hopefully it will work its self out with time.

Clyde:

You should really push only a couple of times a week, three maximum. Other days should be easy runs to relax and enjoy nature while building aerobic fitness. What I do to avoid the temptation to run fast on easy days is find slower training partners. See if your wife, neighbors, or co-workers would like to go for a couple of miles sometimes.

Clyde, your an animal! (per your wife) I agree with Sasha. you need to let your body recover from the hard runs. your Body only gets better when it rests from a hard run. too many of those in a short time. all your doing is tearing it down and not letting it rebuild itself. thus increasing your chances of injury.
