afternoon - 3.5 Dirt Mile.  Took Twix up onto the Dirt to see how the knee would react.  It has been pretty painful over the weekend.  So I just took it easy and kept it short.  There really isn't a lot of pain while running, but it is very weak and wobbly.  It hurt quite a bit after and throughout the evening.  Probably won't be doing anything hard or long at all this week.  Also got a bit of a chest cold that is causing breathing issues.  (Peg black 446.25)

afternoon - 6 Trail to Nowhere.  Tyson and Mike came over last night and convinced me to run with them this afternoon.  So after setting the team up on Running2Win (sorry FRB'ers, but it has a lot of stuff that is very valuable from a coaching/team aspect) we went out.  I din't know how the knee would hold up.  It did okay; there was a bit a uncomfortableness and looseness in it throughout.  As big a problem was my breathing.  This cold I got has really settled into my lungs and made it tough to breathe at all.  (Riders 494.75)

afternoon - 5.5 DogPound.  After a yoga session, headed out with Mike and Tyson on DogPound.  They start off way to fast.  I told them that my main problem with college runners/programs is they think that everything has to be so fast... it doesn't folks, I promise.  Knee felt a bit better today.  I got a compression brace last night and wore it during the night and throughout the day.  It isn't very comfortable, but the compression seems to help a bit and give a little more stability and take some of the wobbliness out of the knee.  Really wasn't any pain during the run and less than before after the run.  (kinvara white 138)

afternoon - 6.5 Highland Trail.  Knee has been hurting quite a bit today, and there is some bruising that is finally starting to show.  Blah.  Went out and ran in the desert with Twix.  Went went to Lower Grapevine and then up the hill and made the Highland loop.  It was actually a pretty good run.  My knee hurts the least while running - but not after.  (Pace 207)

afternoon - 6 Trail to Nowhere. Didn't get tied with Tyson and Mike, bumma. But I did get all my grades tied up pretty quick. And at the bell headed out. Ran down 2450 to the River Trail and then up the T2N. Good run and kept the pace somewhat quick, 6:50. Knee was hurting a lot before the run and after. But like its been doing, it held up pretty good on the run. (Peg 700.75)

morning - 9.75 Sullivan Loop. Took Twix down to the river and ran the loop. Kinda wondered if I picked up the pace a bit how the knee would feel. So decided to try it out a little and it turned into a good steady state run. Did the tempo 6 miler between 6:05-6:15 pace, with a 6:25 up the Dam Hill (which, sadly, was quicker than a couple of the times this summer). Hopefully this helps me feel confident that I could go with a couple quicker workouts next week; although, the knee was in a ton of pain when I finished and kinda gave out a few times again. The big thing that bugs it seems to be catching it in some sort of sideways movement, but he forward motion of running isn't painful (but weak). (Peg blue 110.25)

Happy that I was able to run each day this week.

Goals for next week: really enjoy e holidays with my fam. Get onto some workouts again. Get the knee better. And clear out this chest cold and cough.
