faster with age

     This morning it was 8 deg but I didn't run until about 10 o'clock when it was a balmy 24 deg. I ran 6 miles with the first 3 at 7:46 pace. I did some fartlecs on the next three miles and averaged 6:52 pace. 7:19 overall pace.

     Another cold morning. Ran 8 miles up to the reservoir. My knee and hip felt pretty good other than a slight soreness in my knee the last mile and a half similar to the 8 miler I tried last week.7:48 pace.

     20 miles on the mt bike. 

     PM  ran 5 miles at 8:05 pace. No ibuprofen and the knee felt good. It seems to be around 6 1/2 to 7 miles where a little soreness starts.

     Ran 7 miles this morning. This is the first time I've been able to run consecutive days without knee soreness in a while and without ibuprofen so that's a good sign. That makes 26 running this week and 20 miles for the second week in a row. 8:15 pace.
