12.10 mi in 9:06 avg pace.

Avg heart rate 166.

Starting to feel a little more acclimated. Outside and back of right knee was feeling odd during some sections of the run this afternoon. After I finished the run and was walking back to my office, there was definitely some pain and I was almost limping. It's still a bit painful to apply pressure on the outer sections of the knee- I think ice, stretching, and foam rolling are in order for the evening. If I can't get this sorted in the next few days, I suppose I should call the PT again. Sigh.

No running today. Right knee is still not happy and actually more tender to the touch today than it was yesterday. More ice, stretching, and foam roller.

Usual 3 mile loop x2 in probably ~10:40 pace (left my garmin charger and USB connector at work.. big oops for the upcoming weekend).

It's FINALLY snowing here.. I can only hope we get the ~14" they were predicting. It's been the driest December in awhile and we will really need the water come spring. Now, hopefully it doesn't warm up and melt away before I can get some turns in. 

 I wore the microspikes and had no problems with the knee. I stretched and foam rolled when I got home. So far, so good.
