I'm gonna pretend I waited until 10:30 to go running because I wanted to prepare for my Ragnar night leg. Really, I just put it off to the last possible minute. Running in the dark was pretty sick though. And also slightly sketchy. I've been pretty sore the last few runs, so tonight was a slowish 3 mile shakeout. Held 6:45ish. The first mile felt pretty bad, but then my muscles started relaxing during the second mile, and felt almost great when mile 3 started. The rest of the run, two things hurt: my right knee, and my lungs. The lungs are just from taking a week off, so they'll be fine after a few more days of training. The knee, on the other hand, is different. That's what I get for doing u-hill on my first day back, I guess. Icing the knee rn, and elevating it tonight while I sleep. I don't think it's that bad, but I don't want to take any chances. Really hoping it heals by Ragnar
