AM - 12 miles. I thought it would be nice and cool from all the rain(that cancelled last night's race), but no such luck. Very hot, and I suffered a bit. Tried to go to the old golf course where they hold the crimson classic, which is about 5.5 miles away. Got 5 in and my knee started bugging. Stretched for a couple minutes and felt fine after that, but cut the run short today to play it safe. Tried to do some strides on the fields, but it was really wet and I wasn't motivated to look for another soft area.
PM - ran to the honors rec center, did four miles on the treadmill, stretched and did core after. Did my last half mile on the treadmill at 5:12 pace. Felt a little tiring for the first minute but by the end I felt pretty good, like it was a pace I could hold for a while. Ran back to my dorm.
