I ran 4.5 miles this morning in 34:47. I saw the soon to be temple matron at the winter quarters temple on her bike, so I sped up and ran 1 mile in 6:33 while chatting with her. The faster speed actually hurt my quad less than the slower speed normally does. I wonder if it has something to do with the mechanical work being done. Mostly I am just glad that my leg is getting better, although I still wonder why things got worse after I took some time off from running to let myself recover from mono.
I only rode 3 miles on the bike today, riding to and from school one time. In the evening I ran about a half mile with Kimia (I am guessing it was about 12 minute mile pace, so I won't count it toward the mileage). She hasn't been running this pregnancy because she has been riding the bike instead, but she wanted to run a little to try and stretch herself out a bit since the baby is due in 2.5 weeks.
