It's just that simple

BK Track + canal banks - 29:56

Felt Ok. Got the pace down to about 6:30-6:35 for a bit on the track. Any faster than that hurt the knee. 

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 30:06

Felt pretty rough at the start, but better by the end of the run. 

Neighborhoods - 22:55

Ran at 9 p.m. as it was getting dark. Knee feeling a little better today so I was able to keep a decent pace. 

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 29:53

Nice evening with some high winds during the run. Felt a little better as the run went on. Miles of 7:49, 7:38, 7:33 and 6:51. 

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 22:41

Right at twilight. Started slow but picked it up a little the last mile. 

Camelsback trails - 45:25

Ran two loops on the trails out of Camelsback Park. Great evening - lots of hikers, bikers and runners out this evening. Knee hurting quite a bit on the rolling terrain, even though I purposely avoided any big hills. 

Canals + BK Track - 30:05

Ran at 8:30 a.m. Did not feel smooth at all, but still averaged 7:22/mile on the couple of miles I timed at the track.  

Week 3 Summary - 28 miles 

Pretty frustrating that the mysterious knee injury (doing lunges? mountain biking?) is not improving, even with low mileage at an easy pace. Next week I'll keep trying to add a few minutes per day and shoot for 33-34 miles.
