AM - 5 Washington Loop with 11th extension. Right knee had been hurting a lot yesterday, and there was still some pain in it today. But it felt a little better as I ran. I think it may have been a combination of the short run on the bad treadmill Friday and being cramped into a school bus all day Friday and Saturday. (Glycerin 319.9) afternoon (these afternoon runs are more like early evening, after practice, but whatever...) - 6.55 miles. 3.3 2450 warm-up. Then 10x200's with 200 recovery jog in between. Goals were 1st to finish workout, 2nd to hit 32's. 1st 31. 2-6 32's. They were getting a little tougher as I hit 5 and 6, but I convinced myself I had it as I was on the downhill slide. 7-9 slipped to 33. I was a little bummed, but kept pushing it. They legs were getting a little jello-y. 10th 36. Ahhh. Slipped pretty bad. Actually started the time and jogged for another few steps and then snapped out of my haze and realized I was running 200 and tried to go, but the legs just weren't there. But at least I did it. The feeling to lose it was there again, but not until the very end. Really cramped up when I went home, but got some Endurox in me a some Ultima a little later and felt better. (Cumulus 263.15) evening - 4 on treadmill at 7:30 no incline. Decided to go get a few more miles when wife was at the gym and kids in bed. Loosened up the hips and knee a little. Glad I did it. (Cumulus 267.15)
