A bit warmer and darker this morning with the overnight cloud cover. Pushed it slightly harder this morning (average pace was 8:20 compared to yesterday's 8:30). The last 0.4 mile was at 7:30 pace. I obviously lost a lot of cardiovascular fitness while I was trying to rest my knee prior to the marathon. I also put on some weight (155.2 on Tuesday). It's going to take some work to get back in top shape.
Wore the neoprene brace on my right knee and didn't notice any pain or soreness during the run or shortly after. My knee was sore, however, after the drive to work. |
