Personal:

I am married and have two wonderful kids, 14 and 10.  I've been running since 1982.  I never get "basic" injuries.  I always get the real nasty career threatening kind, like stress fracture of the sacrum, ganglion cyst clamping  down on my peroneal nerve.

This morning, ran the Fast Track Mile for the first time in 10 years.  First time in 10 years that I didn't have to work!  Ran the mile in 5:19.  Goal was to go 5:30.  Took a 4 mile warmup to get to feeling good.  Light rain and humid all during warmup and race.  Ran 2 mile cooldown.  Really want to go 8-10 miles tomorrow, but the back of my left knee is really bothering me now.  It is really exactly the same warning signs that I had when I had popliteal tendinitis in my right knee 9 years ago, which ultimately led to removal of a ganglion cyst.  Took me 13 months before I could run a step.  Hopefully this is just something I can nurse...  Going to start putting the Octane back into the routine.
