We have had some unbelievable weather the last week. This is not normal for Aug in Inidana. It is usually hot and humid this time of year. Well after icing and stretching my knee yesterday it felt much better today. As I started out there was still some tightness in the knee but no pain. I stopped a couple of times in the first two miles to stretch it out and that helped. After 3 miles I thought I would pick up the pace and see how it felt running faster on it. Suprisingly, it felt better when I was running faster. I just kept up the pace and decided I would try a tempo run and see how long I could go. If the knee caused any problems I would shut it down. I continued to feel good so made it through 4 miles at tempo pace. Here are the splits (7:01, 7:03, 7:09, 6:54). I didn't really push it hard since I was being careful with the knee. I did a 1 mile cooldown and again my knee felt tighter running slower than when I was doing the tempo. Still not really sure what is going on but hopefully another day of ice/stretching will do the trick. I am thinking about doing some doubles this week since I figured two shorter runs would be easier on the body than one longer run. 61:01 |
