This run got cut short due to my running partner being stubborn.  I gave myself just the amount of time I needed to get it done, but he just wouldn't budge so it turned into more of a walk.

Over the past two weeks Clarky has developed a limp. I wanted to let him rest for a week or so but I got dressed to run and he got reallllly excited. I just couldn't leave him behind. I took him for a little less than a mile and he pretty much sprinted it he was so happy to be out there.  He was limping pretty bad by the end though :(

For about a mile I was racing a horsefly. He kept landing on me and flying around me.  In Tallahassee they used to say the flies couldn't go faster than 7:30 pace so I picked it up and eventually lost him. That was pretty much the excitement of the day. 

Clarky miles- .9

2x6 min surges. About a month from duathlon day with my brother (I run 2 miles, he bikes, I run 4 miles). I won't have great speed or endurance by then, so I am really working on building mental toughness.  The second surge almost made me puke- I guess I pushed myself hard enough! 

When I finished my knee was immediately tender- definitely swollen and a little stiff.  I'll know more in the morning. Hopefully swelling will work its way down, not up. I'll do a little ice tonight.

No Clarky- he is only walking til his leg heals.
