Finally back out of the field. Tried to do more, but something was not right in my left knee. I hope this doesn't continue, I only have a month to get ready for RASP2.

Got on the treadmill and ran today. My average was 8:45. Feeling it a little in the chest, but it wasn't that bad.

Felt good today, at least no pain in the knee. Averaged a 7:57, but felt more like a 7:20. So by calculations and how I feel I think I am 30 seconds slower and out of shape from before. I think I can catch back up another 20 seconds or so by the time I fly back to the states.

AM- Did a bit of a longer morning run today. I could feel my knee very slightly through the first mile or so, then it went away. I am not sure if it just needs to warm up a little bit and it is fine, or if there is another kind of healing process at work. I wanted to make today a little longer than the other days. I need to be running 5 miles in 40min or less by the end of November. I think after today's run I should be fine as long as I can stay injury free.

7:52  7:46  7:44  7:36 and .25 in 1:42 = 7:42 AP

 PM- Went to the gym and lifted legs and shoulders today. I figured with an off day tomorrow, today was the best day to work out the legs with squats and what not. I am sure I will be SORE tomorrow!
