Ran indoors at the AFFC because of the cold (around 9 degrees) and the icy roads in our neighborhood. The track was fairly crowded this morning, but there was enough room to get around people. I caught up with and shadowed a couple of guys that wore matching Moab shirts for a couple of miles. I started to tire and fell off their pace just as they were ending. It really helps me to push the pace when I try to keep up with the faster runners that just jump in for a few miles. Felt good about the run, but I'm having a little soreness in my knee afterwards (usually after I sit down for a few minutes). It goes away before long, however. I need to get my mileage up in preparation for Boston, but I don't want to do it so fast that I get hurt. It's that old balancing act.

Ran indoors at the AFFC. A little lighter crowd that usual. Was a bit sleepy starting out, but felt good and ran fairly easily. Tried to keep pace with the two runners from yesterday, but they only jumped in for a few laps and were pushing a little faster pace. With about five minutes to go, a guy that I think trains for triathalons jumped in and set a pretty fast pace. I ran just behind him until I had to go. Still feeling a little bit of occasional knee soreness.

Ran indoors at the AFFC. Felt good after a mile so I decided to push the pace today. The weatherman reports that we probably won't get any relief from the smog until Wednesday or so.
